FAQs
Can I build muscle without equipment?
Yes. Use slower tempo (3 seconds down), higher reps (10–20), and add single-leg/single-arm variations to increase difficulty.
How long should a home workout be?
20–40 minutes is enough for most beginners. Consistency beats long sessions.
How many days a week should I train?
Start with 3–4 days/week. Add a 5th day for mobility or light cardio as you adapt.
