What do you all like to do for fun in your spare time? I read and draw, I'm a hermit so I like hobbies i can do at home.

    I workout 7 days a week (lift 6 days and cardio 7 days) I also watch a ton of movies. I’m introverted for the most part so I don’t do a lot of stuff around people unless I have to.

    I do some sport shooting, and go through ups and downs of how often I go. Currently I've been slacking a bit and need to get back at it more.

    I keep up on tech in many areas, and often wonder why much of the world assumes all tech leads to bad things, when in fact it's made life so much better. I've built and upgraded our own computers for years and years, so we have what we want without paying a premium for it.

    I engage in a distributed computing project that uses computer power for protein folding simulations to help science. It's a way of getting some computer nerdery into my day, and helps advance the science as well. Our computer runs 24/7 doing this stuff, and has for years.

    Weightlifting is my go-to stress relief.

    If I have idle time, I play strategy games on my phone, read and write fantasy novels, and keep up with all things NFL or Marvel Cinematic Universe.

    I agree with ya fully. Lifting is such an under utilized form of anti stress/anxiety/depression, I understand that not everyone wants to lift heavy, but just strength training in some capacity is amazing for physical and mental health.

    My best friend from middle/high school became an author as well and wrote some fantasy books. I’m not sure how many but I know at least a couple were published. Writing takes a lot of talent so hats off to yous both for doing it.

    I try to exercise everyday, running or yoga, sometimes both. I have alot of little hobbies that i enjoy but lately i've been trying to learn a new music instrument so it's been consuming most of my spare time. I also really like to read, i read every evening before bed.

    I like to gym - I’ve tried to start reading more and enjoy it as long as it’s something I’m interested in learning- I can’t read fiction stuff I’d rather just watch the movie -

    I like to hike when I can and cook and bbq - I can’t read fiction play a little guitar but haven’t in a while - but my son has expressed interest in learning so maybe this will help me find more time for this

    It’s hard to find time for anything recreational unless attempting to live a healthy lifestyle is considered one?! Between work, family, friends and daily living it’s hard to find the time for hobbies. I also like to watch football ⚽️ while I cook.

    I read a lot. Watch movies. Hobbies seem to come and go for me.

    Something I've been watching lately are youtube videos of treasure hunters, using metal detectors. I've always had an interest in that, eversine finding 2 silver pennies in our backyard when I was a child. I'm thinking of getting a metal detector and just playing around with it.

    Anyone here hunt for treasures?

    I’m an introvert so I enjoy things at home. I love to read, participate in micro learning, I’m in graduate school so that takes up a lot time that I use to do yoga in.

    Fishing, cooking, gardening. Pretty much anything I can get into that brings me outdoors.

    My hobbies include painting, house plants and gardening, fishing and mushroom hunting. I used to enjoy canoeing, hiking and camping but haven't done much of it in recent years. Hope to get back to it, but I have become such a homebody and introvert I prefer to stay home these days.

    I'm a guitarist/bassist/composer and enjoy recording music. Problem is, as a busy husband and dad, I rarely have enough time to do that in satisfying amounts. I do what I can, though.

    I also draw and paint, read, play video games, weight lift, and row. I need to get back into that last one more since the weather has improved.

    I live in Florida so it’s visiting the theme parks. Walking around is a great way to burn calories.
