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.

In fact, home workouts can often be more effective, because there’s no waiting for equipment or wasted time.

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