Hi Naomi,
I feel the same way about gym, but I found an exercise class called Essentrics. It's small groups of men and women of all ages doing a standing "workout" and then some on a mat. It's to help joints, mobility, strength and balance. There are short YouTube videos of workouts for shoulders or knees or all over body that you can do at home. Some are about 10 minutes.
A lot of runners in their 30s and 40s come bc their knees hurt, and they are finding real help.
Why I mention is bc I met this woman, who is somewhat bent over. She said she could barely walk and was in a lot of pain when she started coming. Now she can move, slow and bent but she raves about Essentrics. She still says things like, "I'm saving a bend over, so could you pick that up for me?" lol But she is so much better.
It's so hard to motivate to get out of the house, maybe it's something you might to look into. I hope you feel better!
