Knee pain from workout

[Chase]

I get knee pain when I workout. Not just when I'm doing resistance training with weights and stuff, but they can ache from something like yoga too.

I'm not educated enough when it comes to things like working out. I guess I could go to a gym and take a fitness class or hire a personal trainer, but with the ongoing pandemic I'm still hesitant to start.

Ideally, I'd like an at-home workout routing that would at least be enough to keep me healthy. I've been following one workout routing from a book I have, but my knees started aching again. I'd like to think it isn't something serious like an early arthritis, because it only comes from working out. Last night when my knee was aching from working out the day before, I put on a knee sleeve and it went away after wearing it for a while. I did my workout again today, only this time I wore knee sleeves on both knees while exercising, and my knees were way better during and after.

When my knees start hurting, they can sometimes shake, and it makes me scared I'm going to injure them. Even doing something like a plank long enough can start making me knees vibrate. I started looking up stuff I can do to maybe strengthen my knees.

Still, I don't know how normal it is for knees to get sore or throb from working out. I see a lot of fit guys wearing knee sleeves and I wonder if it's common or not.

I know some people on this forum know a lot about fitness so I'm wondering if they know anything about it and what I can do to avoid it.
