Hobbies

Along with working out; I tried guitar, pool, working more hours, smoking weed, drinking beer, jogging, hiking, biking, mountain biking, snowboarding, conspiracy theories, telescopes, and board games.

Then I stumbled onto a golf course and discovered my raison d’etre.

It took many attempts. Get creative and discover something that you love, either from the past or something new.

Been a gym rat for the last 15 yrs+ so working out was already a lifestyle. I've also played acoustic and electric guitar for 30yr+, so that's not new. Back in college I gamed a bit but my ex had huge issues with gaming and so that was almost totally off the table. Now, I've been slowing getting back into things, digging up old games or find new ones. Besides the hobbies I've listed, and spending as much time with my kids as I can, there isn't room for much more.

Chess, computer programming / game development (Godot), studying stoic philosophy. There are a ton of YouTube series on all this. Everything is free.

Chess is an amazing game IF it resonates with you. Huge depth and breath. And you can play people all over the world for free.

I make little crappy apps and games with Godot. It's a free program (PC, Mac, and linux). Thunk more pong, Mario, or basic platformer. You can download assets (graphics, music, sound effects). It's just a small creative outlet. I never did any programming before, but gdscript and the online tutorials make it very easy to learn.

For apps, I use Flutter. Also free, and you can make iOS or Android apps. I made a world clock UTC vs. local timer, with: ETE, ETA, etc.

I also work out and do BJJ. Calisthenics are essentially free (if able a pull-up bar or rings are great to have). Personally I am way more consistent about doing Calisthenics work outs at home then going to the gym, and I'm not a fan of weights (just boring to me).

If you have access to a pool, swimming is great! If you have access to a bike as well, consider an Olympic triathlon. You swim 1500m, bike 40km and run 10km.

Along with the cheap gym membership, I've also learned to enjoy yoga. Personally, hiking has been cheap and fun, fishing as long as I keep it Simple also fun riding bicycles on the trails. Fun for me too. Stay strong out there. Get your testosterone up and know you're worth women. Have an expiration date

Go take a motorcycle course and see if you like it.

Rec centre is cheap, gym, cycling, jogging, reading in coffee shops, learning a new skill, keeping competitive.

Working on a side business is one of the things that brings me happiness and hope for a better future. I do have aspirations to grow a business and make more and more money. As Rolo says it's about money, muscle and game.

Fly fishing, simple woodworking (now have a small but nice workshop; that was fun in and of itself) and biking.

Reading is good too; check out ebooks from local library.

Also the occasional binge watch of a TV series.

Video games and guitar.

I work out a lot and play a ton of golf. But I also love yard work. Pulling weeds, mowing, planting things,. It's kind of mindless and I get a lot of thinking done.

Guitar is so well worth it
