I've done some preliminary research on this topic, but – crucially – I don't have a gym available to me. I originally thought I should just start running to lose weight, but some people say running can be bad if you're trying to form a feminine physique. I think their claim was: you lose weight, but you might also lose fat/muscle where you want it.

So, what are you folks doing?

Yoga?
- What kind of yoga and where do you source the education materials?
At home workouts?
- Are body weight squats enough?
- What about glutes?

What about diet? Do y'all drink alcohol at all? I typically eat vegan (80% of the time). How do you manage your diet?

Yeah that's fair! I guess I just don't want to lose what little butt I have. I have the classic issue of fat in the belly and not too much elsewhere.
