I've been lifting for 45 years. Home gym all the way. As I've gotten older I've retired the big bar as I know a few guys that have lifted forever that have jacked their shoulders up completely. I have pairs of 20, 25, 30, and 40lb dumbbells. A curl bar, a lat pull down machine, and several benches. My workout room is a 20x20 bldg in my back yard my son and one of his bandmates built summer after his 8th grade year so he could turn it up as loud as he wanted for practices. I moved all my stuff out there when he went to college 6 years ago. It still has the main P.A. system that I run my music off my iphone as effing loud as I like without bothering my wife. I have several fans in there because I like to stay cool.

If I were you I'd start with pushups and sit-ups till you can do 20 pushups, 50 sit-ups, and some 25lb dumbbells just to see if you are going to hang in there. Pretty cheap to start then just add stuff. I couldn't survive without working out. That pump still feels good after all these years.
