The minimum you should be doing in your lifting routine:

1 - Some sort of squat
2 - Some sort of hip hinge movement
3 - Pushing weights away from you
4 - Pulling weights down from above you
5 - Pushing weights above your head
6 - Pulling weights towards you from in front of you

Caveat:

Bodyweight exercises work as well - so you don't necessarily have to "push weights away" - you can push yourself away or pull yourself towards

If you wanted to add more, then do something that targets calves, something that targets abs and something that targets medial delts (e.g. lateral raises)

You're now working pretty much every muscle directly with 9 lifts.
