When someone asked me recently what I’m into I didn’t have answers. Existential crisis aside, what are some good hobbies/interests for someone in their mid thirties to pick up?

    I really like this idea both for it’s practically (I live next to a large climbing gym) and for it’s physical benefits. However, I’m pretty afraid of heights. So it’ll depend on how willing I am to confront that fear.

      If they have a bouldering section, that can be good way to get used to the movements without really getting high off the ground!

    Disc golf. Most cities of moderate size have a course somewhere around and most are free to use. Can get started with 1 disc, about 10 to 12 dollars for a putter, all you’d need to start, or get a starter set of 3 discs for about 30 to 40 bucks at most sporting goods stores.

      I’ve been addicted to disc golf for a decade, and while I’m still not very good, I still enjoy every single round so much.

      There’s so much benefit to squeeze out of the sport:

      • hiking
      • humility
      • healthy competitive spirit
      • self control
      • decision making
      • sight seeing

      Disc golf changed my life, and I hope others find their way to it too
