Ask HN: I hate gym. How to stay in shape?

Inspired by this discussion[1], I want to start working out. I'm in my mid 30s, and my age starts to show it's signs. I do train in boxing once a week, but I feel like it's not enough. Most of the week I stay seated.

I have an on-and-off relationship with gym for multiple years. I came to a conclusion that I simply dislike the format of the gym. I don't like wasting time by getting to the gym, getting from the gym, and waiting for my turn for the equipment.

I don't want to invest a lot of time. 30 min max a day. I prefer to workout from my home, without being dependent on the weather.

What will be a good way to stay in shape, given the above constraints?
