For overall health and lasting benefits you're going to need to get into a gym and pick something heavy off the ground.
Not necessarily true. There are also body weight exercises/calisthenics you can do at home. Hell, even regular walking and some yard work do wonders for your health.
You do not need to go to a gym and lift weights.
