I like to exercise but hate the gym bc of social anxiety and just the general time sink of being there. I have a room set up at home with basic workout equipment. Power cage and 6ft bar for squats and BP, a yoga mat and mirror, some dumbbells, etc. Works great. To avoid injuries I highly recommend starting with bodyweight routine and gradually getting into lifting. You can get a free apk of fitify app and it is awesome. Also on reddit you can find a complete list of the KneesOverToesGuy bodyweight program to prefab your joints and protect against injuries. Most joint injuries it is better to focus on PT rather than surgery.
