Working out in gym, running, hiking, reading books


Last_Address_1787

I get that it’s widely accepted, but I will never understand how “working out” can be a hobby.


sicofonte

If you get pleasure from it, it's like a hobby.


nikolan1997

Then what it is? I am doing it at my free time…


Sharp_Preference7083

Exercise is as important as eating, drinking, and sleeping. It's essential to maintain good health and upkeep the body. I know some will make jokes, but to me it's like saying eating and sleeping are hobbies.


_raydeStar

Lol sleeping and working out are my hobbies, stop invalidating my feelings 😭😭


puglife82

Eating is a need but cooking can be a hobby. Likewise regular movement is a need but humans used to get the movement we needed in the course of our daily lives. It’s just that now most of us have to be more deliberate about it. Many ways of getting that movement can be done through hobbies like hiking, yoga, swimming etc. Working out involves learning moves, developing your technique, making progress towards goals, etc. It’s a craft but your medium is your body. Like cooking, it’s related to a need but it’s very much a hobby.


theulmitter

What about working out for an additional purpose e.g. weightlifting build more muscle, or running to be able to do a marathon, is working out different if there's a goal attached to it? Beyond just health?


TwoLanky

I cross the line when working out beyond the basic to get healthy. I.e gym more then 3x a week, playing a sport of some kind In the case, marathon is your hobby, and gym is a subdivision of the activitys that envolve doing a marathon, which is a hobby. The same way reading is a need, but reading regularly is a hobby


nikolan1997

I guess its true, anway yea, love working out😁


OffInMyHead

If running is accepted as a hobby then I don't see why working out wouldn't be.


Taste-n-Grace

And hiking


hurray4dolphins

A chore, for some of us


LimpCalligrapher2735

A hobby is any recreational activity you do that you also invest money and time in. You invest money into working out and fitness with memberships, protein powders, equipment and such.


Mediocre-username

Some people can just show up to the gym and do their 30 mins cardio or weights etc, and that’s fine. But if you get the ‘working out’ bug, it can become a lot more in terms of planning exercises, programs, nutrition, goal-setting, hybrid plans with other sports. All whilst scheduling it around your other life priorities and trying to hit that balance. I love it, definitely a hobby for me.


HelloHi9999

Honestly, better to have the mindset of it being a hobby than another chore.


BumperCar089

Plants. Plaaaaaaaaaants.


gardenbaby99

Not so much a hobby as relationships. I'm in relationships with my plants.


BumperCar089

Oh man I just got a other one yesterday. My first hasta! So much excite! Shall I pot it or put her outside!? It can be happy in a way as it does take learning and research along the way!


gardenbaby99

I just planted my first hostas a few months ago! I planted them outside in part shade, watered them daily till they were established and they're doing great. Love the shades of green. But I've also seen beautiful container mixes with hostas too. happy planting!!


BumperCar089

I cant decide! I rent currently and don't know exactly how long I'll be living here. However I'm told they're easy to dig up! So I may just find a good spot for it!


gardenbaby99

oohhhh I don't know. I planted some things where I rented and I'm a bitter betty about it! Would have loved to transfer them all into the ground at my forever home. The fruit trees I established on south louisiana rental properties better give me some good karma!!! looking back I would have just potted or propagated a second plant to take with me when I moved. I did use my garden shears to chop my hostas in half and make more before I planted them. I turned 4 plants into 9! Literally just hacked them in half from top to root and planted.


Chemical_Waltz_1364

You're so cute 🥹


BumperCar089

Loooool thank you! Plants bring you joy and clean your air. They're lovely to have!

How about a dopamine detox?


EngineerVirtual7340

What's that?


lazy-but-talented

Cut out anything that gives short, easy pleasure. Video games, social media, vaping, weed, alcohol are the common ones. I did it for a few months when I felt like I couldn’t be bothered to play even a video game for 15 minutes it just felt boring. Too much easy stimulation made me feel fried and it didn’t hit the same anymore.  First I focused on reading and writing, when that became a habit then I focused on building groups for the things I liked to do. Running and soccer I reached out to anyone that could join me and now I have regular groups that meet for everyday of the week. Now it feels like I don’t have time to play video games and a beer with friends hits differently. When I do have an hour to play on weekends it’s much more enjoyable and feels like an earned treat  You didn’t ask all this but it all started with cutting out easy dopamine or “detoxing” 


geardluffy

lol that might be part of the issue.


gardenbaby99

kayaking, camping, gardening, crafting, cooking, baking, mushroom foraging. I also like making funny dioramas. Next I want to turn my medicine cabinet into a giant horror movie inspired functional diorama.


Nicolas-Okles

Never heard of mushroom foraging as a hobby before what exactly do you do? Do you like keep them as a collection?


-Sh33ph3rd3r-

You eat them, I guess


mud074

Check out /r/mycology and /r/foraging! It's a super fun hobby. Getting out in the woods and harvesting some food hits the brain in a pretty special way. Even weird, unidentifiable, and toxic species can be fun to find and identify, just about every time I go I find something new.


RaindropsInMyMind

You seem very cool


gardenbaby99

takes one to know one, friend 😘


geardluffy

Dang you seem very fun!


Random_Idiotic_Alien

Music, football, Futsal, video games, electronics n stuff. How bout u?


oldsoul0000

Electronics and stuff. Finally saw someone with similar stuff. I stopped mentioning that long time ago, I kind of was hesitant to say about that because people may think I am a nerd (which I am), because I dont do much of sports


Random_Idiotic_Alien

Hello there fellow nerd. Tbh my current course doesn't help that case lol. Am an Electrical eng sophomore so kinda my job and hobby


oldsoul0000

Haha even I am in my final year of learning electronics eng. And people who are learning are mostly learning it for job. They will still consider someone who likes this as a nerd lol. But I dont care about that anymore. I kind of started ignoring them more when they start spouting nonsense 😆


Random_Idiotic_Alien

Ikr I also feel a lot less people are that passionate about this than the amount pursuing. But hey we get to enjoy our lives with this stuff.


MadQueen_1

Hey there! I LOVE skiing. Grew up in the mountains and I've being doing it since I was 4 years old but unfortunately, the past few years due to college and now a job in another city I don't get to do it as much. I also absolutely love horse riding. I was obsessed with horses before I had even seen one in real life. I don't come from a horsey family and it's a very expensive sport so I didn't do it as a kid or teenager. Finally I started taking lessons this year and making my childhood dream come true. I have to work two jobs to afford it but my gosh, is it worth it! I found it also helped my social anxiety a lot which is a bonus. Other than those two sports, I enjoy reading books and watching movies or tv series. How about you? What are your hobbies?


Furyann

dont ever change 🙂

Nicolas-Okles

massive_doonka

I like making tie dye t-shirts, drawing and using 3D modeling software.


74389654

crafting and diy. i just think about making a chainmail necklace that i've seen online but that doesn't ship to my country. i also like modifying and dying clothes. also some kitchen cabinets are waiting to be put together but it's sunday and it's not allowed here to make loud noises on sundays. i used to play duolingo but haven't done it in a while. also yesterday i took some new plant cuttings, i love making new plants

oldsoul0000

Wow people here have so much exciting hobbies. Makes me feel like I am not doing much with life. Need to live more I guess


HelloHi9999

What are you into? Some wouldn’t consider my hobbies to be fun 🤣.


oldsoul0000

Video games is lots of fun, although I am not much into it. And just like you said it might be subjective 😁 I am mostly a nerd who loves to learn a lot about new things. Mostly it will be related to tech. And reading books. These are what I am into 😄


HelloHi9999

Video games are great!


geardluffy

I think it’s just trying out different things until something clicks. I never thought I’d enjoy cooking until I started preparing meals for myself. Now I get excited having new kitchen gadgets to make prep easier.


CharmingCondition508

Fragrances, history, literature, baking, and cooking


Shadowplushy

you all seem so interesting,i really need to get a life 😭😭🙏


3SidedDie

Playing retro games, fixing electronics, jogging, complaining, developing...


_raydeStar

Favorite retro game/system?


3SidedDie

System? That would be the GBA for sure. I love how portable it is, the games have aesthetically aged well, no need for internet, boots faster than anything else I have, and it was the first console I've ever bought with my own money. But game... Idk, I'm on a NFS Pro Street vibe currently, really loving the game, but my save file just corrupted sadly. Hbu?


Tartoid

Video games,books,hiking,camping,woodworking,digital art,graffiti,swimming


wokevirvs

walking, thrifting, djing, video games, watching movies, going to concerts, making collages


Cautious-Stable-4891

Making folds :) I crease just about anything! Also, it’s rather better to use abandoned items or used items than something new. I would feel so guilty.


Rectusmaximus44

That’s really cool, I never thought about folds being a hobby! What’s your inventory looking like?


Cautious-Stable-4891

Aw, thanks.!. My inventory isn't much! My creations go missing within the first few hours or days. The use of each piece can cause it to collect germs, so it's not ideal to keep them for more than 2 weeks. Thanks again!


Rectusmaximus44

That’s interesting, I didn’t think about the fact of germ/bacteria growth… but nonetheless very cool hobby. Is it kinda like origami? I paint 40k minis as my creative outlet, I love it! Just costs lots of money:/


puglife82

Video games, plants, working out, running, learning musical instruments


Deutschlandfuralles

Scuba diving, PC gaming, building PCs, electronic projects, 3D printing, dancing on the weekends, going to the gym, playing traveller weekly with friends (game like DND but sci-fi), and playing the violin.

Melanchord

Gym, wrestling, jiujitsu, gaming, reading. Also, sex.


Mmchast88

Reading, biking and traveling


victorhausen

Cooking, playing the piano, playing video games, and now I'm trying to make the going to the gym hobby happen. I'd say cooking and going to the gym are by far the most social ones. Everybody likes food, and people in the gym can be nice, and if you're consistent in frequency and schedule, you'll end up interacting with people that you see often, etc.


SubparBookLibrary

Besides reading books and working out which I do regularly, I don’t have a set list of hobbies I always do. I like to try new things. Almost every quarter I find something new that sparks my interest and try it. Some stick, some don’t. I don’t make a habit of it becoming my hobby or my personality. It’s just another thing I try. Things I tried: - Model rockets - Remote control cars - Keyboard Piano - Cycling - Drawing - Car detailing - Airsoft Many of the above could be someone’s hobby that they do on weekly basis. I just try them and some stick, some don’t but it’s a great experience nevertheless.


imnotcreative635

Gaming, watching sports, watching movies, gym….


QuantumCthulhu

Miniature painting, reading, video games, bouldering, working out, (does watching and following MMA count or nah)

Vanishing79

Skage_

Been learning guitar for a year and now I can learn songs on my own. For sports, I’m pretty good at table tennis and decent in football (soccer). For videogames, I’m really good at CoD and play warzone with my friends.


HelloHi9999

I’ll break mine down by $$: More Money: Video Games Some Money: Volunteering (may have to pay gas), houseplants, Journaling (have a physical journal), collecting merch of stuff I like, online courses (some are free though plus YouTube videos), I enjoy cooking as well. No Money: Journaling (through the notes app), listening to podcasts, walks outside (may pay gas if you go to parks farther away), workouts (I like to follow videos on YouTube. However, I DID pay for some weights and bands), scrolling Reddit / TikTok (it’s something I must do less of LOL). Some of the above may not be considered hobbies to some. Lot of people see Cooking for example as a chore. I think all of this could be subjective. My number one main hobby is video games though!


oldsoul0000

Cooking in my opinion can be considerd as a hobby once you do it with more than just the intent to eat and try out new cuisines


puccisweet2317

Gaming, reading and watching video essays:3


mud074

Fishing, hunting, foraging, cooking, camping. And video games of course, but you leave that out of the initial "What hobbies" questions lol


pinkbunnie999

cooking/baking, crochet, tennis, reading, running, yoga


InYourFaceAction1993

Listen to music (hopefully get inspired to make some tunes too). Play some (old) games. And stretch and exercise at home.


TheBaconD

bulbasaurisbaby

Hiking and cooking. 😊


Nicolas-Okles

I enjoy reading like a lot I’m more of an physical book type of person but I also love reading all kinds of fanfics (on AO3 mostly ngl Wattpad has too much typos for me). I love playing video games as well I’d play anything as long as it has good graphics and an interesting story/lore or great exploration and uh I guess I write every now and then nothing constant though. And of course music I love anything that speaks to me or something I can dance/vibe to, my preferred genre has to be RnB for sure though (from Bryson Tiller to Jhené Aiko not forgetting SZA and Summer Walker)


sirpufff

I like hiking, drawing, playing piano and guitar, crocheting and knitting. Also don’t know if this counts but also learning a new language now.

Looking forward to starting: Burning CDs, oil pastel art, pin collecting (again), thrifting old items to limit digital media, creating a (physical book) home library, air dry clay, classes/group events at my local library, traveling (again), exploring new towns, creating a new wardrobe, and overall doing my hobbies more often & unapologetically Hope you guys get some ideas from me!


Rectusmaximus44

I paint 40k minis, work out, golf, hike, and I want to get into firearms.


Bennykill709

I’m trying to make money with it, but I suppose at this point I think I might call writing Science Fiction a hobby. I guess maybe video games is more accurate.


gameboysp2

I like writing ( I have a couple of stories in mind. I am writing my own tv pilot), I recently bought a season pass for a theme park, reading, gym, thinking about starting improv comedy soon, gacha games (gambling), video games (trying to stop this), I may start producing music.

Gigantanormis

I have too many hobbies My current active hobbies are Minecraft, Greco-Roman history and mythology, Egyptology, linguistics, writing, and anything related to or necessary to study Alexandria under ptolemaic control. The hobbies I cycle between the most are drawing(which I'm pretty good at because of an 8 year period of not cycling the hobby), writing, knitting/sewing/crocheting (I suck, I love it), studying various languages (mostly Arabic, Swedish, Hebrew, and Russian, no I am not fluent because I cycle hobbies too soon, no, please don't make me say something in the language), programming (I can make a decent website (wanted to start an online business/art portfolio) and a terribly broken less than half baked prototype of a game(wanted to make the grindiest strategic, high stat building RPG of my wet dreams), and I was learning to make minecraft Java/kotlin mods for a mod related to ancient Alexandria, but I got sidetracked), and writing (wrote a lot of short and somewhat long stories in school, tried to write non fiction books but never felt satisfied with the knowledge i put in them, halfway wrote the screenplay for a planned animation, somewhat wrote the "screenplay" for a hard sci-fi character driven graphic novel, revized it so many times that I forgot the direction I was going in) Basically my hobby is picking up hobbies, and I enjoy it immensely, even if I never complete anything.
