I’ve been thinking the exact same thing. Gym is the best for you physically and mentally. I’m going to go to my apts spin class today to sweat out all the crap I drank over the weekend and stare at some glutes. I need other ideas tho
Depend on your height/weight and what you want to do. Some people are just naturally very skinny. Unless you are doing a dedicated strength program like Starting Strength and don’t want cardio conditioning to interfere with da gainz there is really no reason to avoid playing tennis, squash, soccer, basketball or any other sport. Except golf. That’s not a sport.
Starting some healthy habit/hobby is a great way to fill some time. This tends to vary greatly by where you live…for example, in Philly I am not going stand up paddle boarding or surfing after work.
It depends on your age group and if you’re single. I’d recommend joining some type of professional society, social sports league etc that meets once a week.
you should do something new and exciting that is also helpful to others. For example here’s something I did way back when:
i was a sophomore in college and the university decided to raise tuition. a classmate of mine, brenda, in an effort to raise money and stay in school, came up with a nifty plan where she’d date guys and charge them money. i helped her out by making a schedule and providing transportation services. she said she needed my help to make sure dates went ok and that the guys paid her and that she would give me a percentage. it was great to help a friend and put a little coin in my pocket.
