Healthy Hobbies? (For the Growth of Others)

Name your favorite healthy hobbies :slight_smile:

Mine are:

  • Tennis (my #1, because I play tennis for the school and take lessons)
  • Fishing, it’s super relaxing and semi-cheap (I bought everything I need for $100 and I’ll have to buy new line eventually for $6 but that’ll be months or years)
  • Biking, overall fun and a good way to travel, just need a bike, no gas needed!
  • Kayaking, lowkey just relaxing and good arm/shoulder exercise… this one is a bit more expensive though ($200 per kayak if you wanna go cheap)

Thank you,
DinoDev

I’m excluding anything technology wise because despite people’s opinions it is subjectively much unhealthier than hobbies that effect your physical well being in a positive way. Also, nature :slight_smile:

1: Reading (My first one because I do it the most)
2: Drawing (Only traditional art)
3: Tennis/Basketball (I said both because it just depends on the day and if I can get a tennis teammate or not)
4: Talking to other people IN REAL LIFE (I’m counting this because most people don’t social with others face to face anymore)
5: Looking for bugs
I forgot singing and dancing as well.

I do everything on your list 3+

Do you like bugs? I’m not interested in them that much anymore, but I have pet beetles (blue death feigning beetles) and I pinned bugs for a great while so I have a ton in frames from across the world.

I LOVE bugs, bees (If you couldn’t tell) are my favorite and I have a bunch of bugs pinned as well, but I stopped after a bunch of them got ruined when I sent them to the state fair.

  • In first is probably rock climbing. Ever since I was young, I always loved the thrill of free-climbing and heights.

  • In second is hiking. Living in the Northwest, I really just can’t ignore all of the beautiful Mountains and valleys.

  • In third is boating. I have something called the “origami paddler”, which is a folding Kayak/Stand up board hybrid. I also love taking my Canoe to some of the large lakes around where I live.

  • Fourth is likely biking. I own a large mountain-bike and cannot resist using it. I normally stay to the roads and trails, I am scared of literally mountain biking, XD.

  • Fifth is designing. I like to play around with different designs of vehicles before 3D modelling them. I think this also counts as drawing.

  • Last, in sixth, is messing around with electronics: computer chips, salvaged motors, and all of the other things I salvage form broken drones and electronics.

Oh yeah, I also like to learn Judo.

This seems like fun to me but I’ve never been able to actually do anything with it.

Oh gosh. If those were alive, I would scream.

Motors and computer chips are simple, and fun.

That’s awesome. I’ve raised some butterflies before but I haven’t had any other insect pets.

I have never owned a pet.

I’ve had these beetles for 7.5 months and they should live 6.35 more years (on average).

That’s depressing.
(and also off topic I think?)

This is the community lounge so it doesn’t really matter. New users won’t see this topic anyways.
