some people on insta said i should post my workout routine since i mentioned how im so happy with the results, so here’s my little workout guide for my fellow trans folk! I focused on getting a more masculine body because obviously that’s what I want. I’m so happy with the results, this workout is saving my fucking life!!!! I can’t get on T soon so this has really been keeping my dysphoria in check. I barely get body dysphoria, i love how my clothes looks on me, i love feeling confident for once in my life!!! HOWEVER Don’t go overboard with working out my friends. Do not work out in a binder, you MUST take days off to let your muscles heal, and you CAN’T starve yourself! Fitness is all about health and diet! Take care of yourself. This is also MY workout routine, you may not get the same results as I have! Every body is different.
As a person who is at the gym – I have seen ZERO change in my body because my diet hasn’t changed. I’m getting the diet plan this week, so I 100% expect to see changes here. You CANNOT expect to eat pizza and take-out and expect to go to the gym and look like Gal Gadot or Chris Evans.
I would not recommend reducing your caloric intake, it’s not an effective way to lose weight can can be very harmful especially if you have an eating disorder. Weight loss =/= fitness anyway. It’s more important to include plenty of lean proteins and healthy carbs as part of your pre- and post- workout routine, don’t worry about counting calories.
@nomadicstardust This post is advocating eating “500 calories less than what is recommended for you.” That is unhealthy. No one said anything about eating for a man twice your size.
Weight loss is not the primary goal of this post, nor is it an indication of health or fitness. Calorie counting is dangerous especially if you have or are prone to an eating disorder. It is absolutely not a good way to manage a binge eating disorder and can lead to further disordered eating. You might lose weight in the short term but severely restricting food intake is likely to cause weight gain, increase cortisol levels, and cause other health problems in the long term. You need to make sure you are eating enough, not less, when taking on a vigorous exercise program. There are better ways to be mindful about what you’re eating.
Also while the exercises themselves look solid & sensible the advice to “do as many as you can” or “go as long as you can”, lack of info on weight lbs to use, and high rep/set counts… If you already have a solid fitness knowledge background, this might be useful inspiration but if you DON’T? Pretty unsafe advice all around, possible to do way more harm than good.
Also shouldn’t need said but hip width is more dependant on bone structure than anything, so @ trans folx who have had E-based puberty? Some “padding” might be able to drop, but we can’t change our pelvic bones or hip joints.
