Sports Hobby
Ideas
Many times we are bored because we have become too inactive. If this is your
problem, you might like a sports hobby. Have you ever tried tennis? How about golf? Many people simply love bowling
until it becomes an important part of their lives. Sports hobbies get you out of the house and often are a way to
make friends with others. Then again, some active hobbies can be enjoyed in our own homes, such as weight lifting
and doing aerobic dance to a video.

Dancing
Hobby
Speaking of aerobic dance, dancing is another great pastime. When you think of hobby ideas,
don't forget the many forms of dance. Square dancing is fun for people who like getting together with groups, while
ballet and modern dance appeal to the more contemplative souls. And while we're on contemplation, you might enjoy
doing yoga stretches as a hobby.
Outdoor Hobby
Ideas
 If you enjoy outdoors and long walks while hitting a
small ball, playing golf could be an ideal hobby for you. |
Maybe we're feeling bored and listless because we've been cooped up in the house
too long. If that's the problem, here are a few hobby ideas to get you out in the fresh air. Have you ever thought
of taking up canoeing, hiking, or trapping? How about getting involved with an environmental group?
In many states, you can form groups to clean riverbanks and monitor water quality,
and the state will provide perks such as t-shirts, work gloves, and first-aid kits. Or maybe you'd like studying
the flora and fauna of your region. It can be great fun to stroll through the woods and fields with a field guide,
learning to identify each wildflower, insect, tree, and bird.
There are almost as many hobby ideas as there are bored people in the world,
because everyone puts their own spin on their favorite hobbies. Maybe you'd enjoy decorating your house with
antiques, or learning to bake specialty breads from around the World.
Maybe you'd like to take part in a little theatre production, or learn to play guitar. What about the fine
arts of weaving tapestries or painting with oils? Candle making, soap making, and many other old-time crafts are
being enjoyed again. Truly, if you look at these hobby ideas, there is no reason to stay bored for
long!
