Just did my first half-marathon a few weeks ago, and now training for my first full marathon!

I know, the image is alot but its what im going for.

Okay okay. So first off, I already know that this post is off, im a non trans guy, posting in a trans fitness space, why ever would I do that? Thats because of one reason: my body. You see, for whatever reason, despite being a guy I don’t have anywhere near fat or skeletal proportions. Sure I don’t have breasts, but I am quite curvy (I have a 31 inch waist and 41 inch hips), and lowkey I have no idea what to do. All fitness advice for people I can see is tailored towards people that are either born feminine, or born masculine, so idk what I’m supposed to do here, and I was hoping if people on this Reddit might have tips. My problem is that no matter what I exercise, my thighs and seat are pretty large, and my waist is thin, so I end up still looking quite feminine. Basically idk how to look masculine, my face doesn’t help since I’ve been told it’s androgynous, and I was hoping this subreddit might have thoughts
Edit: also, if anyone knows if an even better subreddit to ask this in that’d be great!

I really bungled the angle on this one 😅.

Hi chattt! 🥰 As you know, I’ve been keeping this subreddit updated on my journey toward 8% body fat.
This week’s update is a little underwhelming 😂 I’ve been traveling, away from my normal routine, and getting consistent access to everything I usually rely on has been tricky. But despite being far from home, I’ve been able to maintain—and I’ll take that as a win!

Friendly reminder: balance matters. Don’t let a fitness goal stop you from actually living your life. Enjoy the trip, visit those people, explore new places, eat some good food, and make memories. Your routine will still be there when you get home. ❤️

Now that I’m back, it’s time to lock in again… which means adding the word I fear most back into my vocabulary:
Cardio. 😭🏃‍♀️

Hi all! Just started my workout journey recently. Just started going to the gym about a month ago to mainly work on my lower body.

I was wondering if y’all had any advice on what I should work on to look more feminine!
Any advice welcome, for example:
- Muscles I should target
- Exercises I should add/remove/change
- Should I lose/gain weight

My usual workout at the gym:
- 3 sets reverse lunges (smith machine)
- 6 sets hip thrusts (smith machine)
- 4 sets glute medius hip thrusts (dumbbell) (Bret Contreras came up with these for hip abduction I think)

I’m still figuring out my home workout but I often do:
- 3 sets Bulgarian split squats (dumbbell)
- 3 sets single leg hip thrusts (dumbbell) (I can’t do these very well form yet, work in progress)
- 4 sets glute medius hip thrusts (dumbbell)
- I’ve been thinking of changing to step ups and adding single leg RDLs

Context/Data that might be useful:
- mtf, not socially transitioned
- I live in Japan so wearing a mask is very normal, so I often use it to hide my jawline which I feel self conscious about
- can’t grow my hair out so I have to use wigs
- 179cm, 73-75kg depending on the day
- 6 months on estradiol patches but only 2 months on CPA

Had a good streak for like 4 months.

Edit: 166cm and 75kg
