I’m gonna scale back how much time I spend online but it’s pretty damn boring. I’ve been on sedentary lifestyle since the lock down and to put it bluntly it’s starting to take its toll. I can even feel the effects of a sedentary lifestyle negatively affecting my gaming sessions.

I’m riding a bike again after giving up several times. I already know how to swim in deep waters. Any other ideas? I am looking for other hobbies outside art and gaming.

    I lift to get yoked and to beat the fasc.

    I also aspire to run a marathon so I train for that.

    Otherwise I like gardening and taking care of plants. Make music. Read books.

    I really enjoy doing martial arts as a way to stay fit. I find I get really bored going to the gym, but with martial arts there’s a lot of stuff to keep your mind busy and the exercise becomes mostly incidental.

    I think just starting with a walk around your neighborhood would do wonders for you. Whenever I haven’t exercised in hot minute, I go for a 30 minute walk and I realize how better I feel after. An easier bar of entry in terms of capacity, and also mentally as well.

    Do you enjoy making things with your hands or fixing things? I find fixing old tools, toys, appliances is rewarding and allows me to be engaged while also reducing my impact. Building your own tools or furniture from things you own or can acquire easily is a great way to tinker without too much investment.

    If you have some green areas near you try climbing trees. It’s a pretty weird hobby and you can start with what feels like humiliating small steps (climbing a hip-height branch). But it’s a great way for getting a different and closer appreciation for nature and also of exercising balance and body control rather than just the muscle growth you’d get at the gym.

    I also second martial arts, specially more cultural ones like Capoeira, Kung Fu or Karate rather than competition-focused ones like Boxing.
