I love reading, spending time outside, especially when I take my labrador to the beach, interacting with animals (I work with reptiles), swimming (in the sea preferably), coffee, crafty type stuff but nothing specific like scrapbooking, playing with my camera (which is not working right now...)

My favorite hobby as of now is my yoga practice. I started a year ago to help me de-stress from school and I just fell in love with it. It is so much more physical than I imagined before I started. I've always been active, but I can tell that yoga has really increased my core and upper body strength! It's so nice to just have an hour or two to clear my mind!

My fav..."
YES! I love yoga! Yoga is one of my favorite things?
Rachel, I'm 52 years old and have osteoarthritis, would I be able to start yoga at this stage of my life?
Mod
Yoga can be done at any age. Yoga is really about you, and your body/mind/soul. There are different "levels" you can do in each position and its up to you on how you push yourself. I encourage anyone to do it because I think it is calming and makes me feel at peace with everything, especially if I had a hard day. So, my answer is yes :)
Tracy wrote: "Rachel, I'm 52 years old and have osteoarthritis, would I be able to start yoga at this stage of my life?"Physical activity is highly recommended for patients with OA. I would think yoga would be a great way to increase you physical activity and, in the long run, help to reduce any joint pain you experience.
First thanks to Rachel for the reply.Ashley, thanks for the input. For someone with OA and not to mention two herniated discs, I'm more active than most with OA. Either I'm luckier than most or just plain stubborn :-) My big deal is recovery time with most exercises. I'm definitely going to give it a try at least.

That's awesome! Yoga is rather low impact, so I think the recovery time would be minimal other than sore muscles. I'd be wary of any inversions though with your herniated disks. I hope you enjoy it though! I love it! And, like Rachel said, it really does incorporate body, mind, and soul--so you get a bit of spiritual healing as well which is just as important! :)
Besides reading I'm a visual artist in fact I designed the cover of my book. I also sing and do needlework.
I love to read, bake, create and write. Right now we are doing a lot of improvements on our home so I am pretending its a hobby. Lol!

Yes! No problem! I really think Yoga may be able to help you possibly grow stronger :)
reading, cooking, watching movies and tv-series and some favorite programs like Dr. Oz and the Doctors, hanging out with friends...
Reading and watching TV mostly, anymore. And then I only watch TV at night with my hubby. And cooking, though I'm hardly a gourmet chef or anything...I just enjoy cooking what I'm able to cook. All the rest of my time goes to my kids, though, so I don't have time to get out and do anything else. Maybe when the kids are older I'll pick something up. :)
I realize I haven't answered this question, yet!Obviously, reading is my number 1 hobby. I also blog about books, which goes hand in hand with it.
I do a lot of things with my husband and he is a hobby jumper, as I like to call him.
I looove saltwater fishing down in Tampa Bay, FL. We try to that at least twice a year. We also shoot rifles together at a shooting range, which I love. I shoot a recurve bow, too, and I'm pretty good at it, but I need more practice. And I recently discovered how fun it is to shoot skeet (or pigeons, as some people call them).
I like to draw, mess around with paints, and decorate. I like making collages, too, but I have yet to get into anything serious like scrap-booking. My husband and I recently refinished our bedroom furniture and I had a blast doing it.
I think that's pretty much it at the moment. =)
I love dancing, I'm trying to learn to cook (love it but I don't know enough recipies), I'm addicted to TV shows (can't wait for game of thrones season 2) and... wait for it ... reading.
Hobbies.. let's see. I like to draw, and paint. I recently took up oil painting, I used to do mostly acrylics and tempera, some water colors. I haven't painted in awhile, should have a go of it again soon. I spend a great deal of time with my dogs, obedience, walking, training. I watch Cesar Milan religiously. House plants, although in the winter, they do tend to get ignored a little. Whatever makes it thru the winter is welcome to stay around. In the summer, gardening, love to get my hands in the dirt. Reading books, obviously. Just got a nook, it is amazing! Photography is a hobby. Look me up on flickr.com/ineedlu I've got tons of photos, there. My job is tattooing, but definitely spills over into creativity. I'm lucky to have such a creative job. Baking, too. I don't like to cook so much as bake. Cookies, cupcakes, bread. That type of thing.
I love to read and watch tv. <3 I love Billy Ray Cyrus and his daughter, Demi Lovato, and Selena Gomez. <3 I love Lisi Harrison, Nicholas Sparks, J.K. Rowling, Anhtony Horowitz, Meg Cabot, and ecily von Ziegesar!!! <3 <3 <3
I love reading and I like to watch football (the real one)(Arsenal) I don't think that I have any real hobbies right now because I think once you are married and have kids then you are almost finished
Well besides reading I collect salt and pepper shakers and then for my outdoor activity I have really gotten into playing disc golf.

Love your answer... was wondering, do you ever mix up 3.) and 6.), you know, just to shake things up a bit? (Sorry, I couldn't help myself!)

That is great you speak so many languages! I'm learning Spanish and I am in love with it. That is amazing that you can speak such a diverse group of languages. Kudos!
FREEBIRD wrote: "You are!? That's great! I LOVE Spanish. It flows off the tongue so smoothly and easily. Let me know if you ever have questions! :-)"Will do, thank you. I do love the way it sounds. I'm excited to start reading in another language as it was meant to be read.
Besides reading, I also love writing, belly dancing, beading, cooking, listening to music, watching movies, playing computer games, traveling and attending Renaissance faires.
Mod

I love my xbox360. I am utterly obsessed with it. You should venture towards it :D
I have a large history of painting, with a BFA in Painting, and a mini studio in my attic... however so uninspired recently. I love reading and it is a good distraction and muse for my artistic mind. Looking for a full studio so I can continue painting. In the mean time though I am looking to go back to school for Museum Studies/Art History. A new hobby of mine is writing. Maybe I will post some tid-bits soon. Buttttt.. this is a new-new hobby, exploring it only for the past month, new. :)
Besides reading (obviously), I enjoy cooking, travel, gardening and theater (everything from opera to musicals to straight drama).
Mod
That sounds so amazing. I am trying to create a studio i my garage!
Reading is probably my favorite hobby. But I also LOVE music, film, gardening, scrapbooking/card making. I have so many! I always said if I didn't have to work for a living, I wouldn't be bored!! haha!
Reading, writing, knitting, cooking, photography, films, cross stitch, penpalling, travel, skiing, drawing (new), smoking.

I love to read and write. I also enjoy watching movies and catching up on my favorite tv shows.
I really love reading (it's basically my whole life) and writing. I paint and draw in my free time, but I love getting involved with activism organizations. In fact, I've started my own chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance at my university. I've been volunteering since I was eight--animal shelters, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, low-income housing development, etc. I'm not a big tv person, but I love fantasy and magic movies.
just cigrettes. :)Sandie wrote: "Michelle wrote: "Reading, writing, knitting, cooking, photography, films, cross stitch, penpalling, travel, skiing, drawing (new), smoking."

I love of course reading- I feel bad I totally neglect my husband sometimes reading too much. Besides that I sing, play guitar and love to karaoke. I also like to cook, but I cook far too rarely anymore, always too busy.

My main hobbies are reading and writing. This year, I'm making it a point to immerse myself in the literary world. So, I spend a lot of my time reading creative process books, writing drafts, journaling, and finding fellow writing and reading friends. I try hard to keep writing (because it's not always easy!). But I also love nature and hiking, art and photography, and tennis and, somehow, as of late, fitness (I just started boxing!). I'm a HUGE foodie, going out to eat and cooking/baking takes up a lot of my time...and money. I also enjoy going to shows and festivals. From writing this, I'm realizing I have A LOT of interests. Anything that makes me happy (and relaxed), I enjoy!
I'm one of those people who appears to not have many interests and should probably get some more.My main ones are quite typical; reading, movies, films, gaming (on pc!). Those are the things I spend the majority of my free time doing. I also volunteer, which I love doing, and I'm really into activism and campaigning particularly around 'hard to reach' groups (which is a crappy term I think, but basically incorporates groups like those with disabilities, young parents, LGBTQ, sex workers, etc).
I'd really like to pick up some new hobbies and rekindle some old ones. I used to love writing and also horse riding, but unfortunately haven't been able to write since the age of 15 (as in, I had some crappy experiences which seriously knocked my writers esteem and I've never recovered) and I'm too poor to afford horse riding D:
I love to read, travel (that is how I ended up living in New Zealand), cooking, trying my hardest to get into gardening, going to beach with my boy (just across the street) and spending time with my boys. Actually my boys and their schools take up a lot of my time, only on about 4 committees between the two schools.

I draw! And draw. And draw some more!I also write (and read, apparently). I've only created poems and essays, although I've always wanted to work on an original novel. I also play the guitar and sing. I cover songs but I just keep them among my files--I don't really have the guts to post them or have anyone listen to them :( Oh, and I absolutely love watching films (horror films, in particular; and, well, chick-flicks (thanks to my chromosomes)).
And as for you guys who cook/bake, I envy youuuu! I want to be able to cook/bake without having to burn anything :(
I havent watched Ghost Hunters. I should check that one out!..."
