I did pretty much the same exercises as the others mentioned. I don't like working out in the gym neither. Glute bridges, clamshells and donkey kicks can all be performed with a resistance band in the park and at home. Additionally, before I got back into running I started working out with a jump rope as conditioning to avoid putting on too much weight. I did a hot yoga class twice a week for about a year, which went through maybe 10 of the 26 bikram poses. Especially awkward pose and chair hold for a minute or so respectively really strengthened my legs. I feel the stretching is equally important when dealing with knee pain.
