Looking for a New Hobby? Here Are 17 Great Ideas

After discussing our hobbies the other day, PJ and I determined I don’t have many that require anything physical of me (something I desperately want and need!). So, we talked about it for a while and we came up with something fun I could do every day that's would also get my heart-rate going: walking.

I started walking in the mornings with my mom two weeks ago, and while we’ve had to miss a few mornings due to appointments and scheduling, we are absolutely loving it. It’s quality time together, just the two of us, to catch up and talk about everything and nothing. We usually walk around two miles and the days I’ve done it, I’ve felt better, more confident and ready to tackle the day.

I am still looking for more hobbies (PJ’s list, we found out, included too many to count), so the other day on Instagram, I asked what hobbies you have! In an effort to inspire others, I’m sharing a few of them below. Maybe you’ll take up a new one of these. It’s never too late, is it?
