Home Workouts for Men: Effective Routines to Build Muscle and Burn Fat

When I first started training at home, it felt like a challenge.

No gym, no heavy weights, just me and my living room. But over time, I realized that home workouts can be just as effective—if not more—than gym sessions.

It’s just you, your space, and the goal in front of you.
