On a milder homophobic tip and not so much "hot" as "extremely old" but I was chatting with a co-worker (26, m) about the physical perils of our job and trying to avoid getting back pain, and I mentioned that yoga is said to be good for that, and he replied enthusiastically and unprompted with "I've heard that...and it's not feminine at all!!"
I just had a thought of how to maybe grift a bit with yoga.
All you gotta do is like really fucking ham up the Hindu nationalist machismo, say warriors of India have used yoga to prepare for war for thousands of years, change some of the position names to something manly. Maybe also sell some machismo supplements to make your brain as strong as your muscles will be if you do our warrior yoga program, etc.
It will still be "ethnic" though which is almost as big a no-no as something being feminine. If you really want to sell your grift you've got to make it whiter. Talk about how your totally-not-yoga was developed by cavemen/crusaders/vikings/cowboys and call the positions something stupid like "Bald Eagle Predator" or "Patriot Hammer Xtreme".
As an aside, it was a revelation to me when I was told that lower back pain can be caused by basically having a weak “core” (like abdominal muscles). One great exercise is called a marching bridge and another is doing simple leg lifts or plank but you gotta squeeze your butt and tuck in your belly button!
Basically muscle pains can be caused by weak muscles especially interconnected weak and strong muscles that are “unbalanced,” so to speak.

Literally "fellas is it gay to stretch"

Pretty easy if you ask me.
So in India there's this ethnic group called the "Aryans" right? ....

Also your core goes all the way around! It's your back too! Deadlifts can help a lot
