Outdoor Hobbies/Health And Fitness August 11, 2015OutdoorOff

Apart from our daily routines, people find ways for recreation. It can be a hobby through arts, sports, spending time on the laptop, or anything we love to do. One that is gaining popularity worldwide is outdoor hobbies or sports. Both men and women in all ages are into this fun and exciting recreation.

While some people prefer to while away time indoors, some of us just love the whole feeling of being outdoors. Being indoors just seems to suffocate us and we long to be out in the open, with the breeze blowing on our faces and the bright blue sky above us. The range of outdoor hobbies we can carry out is endless.

Outdoor hobby pursuits can be loosely considered to be the group of sports and activities which are dependent on the great outdoors, incorporating such things as hill walking, hiking, backpacking, canoeing, skiing, climbing, caving, and arguably broader groups such as water sports and snow sports. Outdoor hobby sports most often include nature in the “sport”. Outdoor sports can also include softball and football.

Fishing is a great outdoor past time hobby and there are great saltwater and freshwater fishing sites available for fishing. Trout, salmon, bass, herring and various other varieties can be fished at freshwater fishing sites. For saltwater anglers there are treats like halibut, tuna, bluefish, cod, haddock, etc. However, one has to check regarding the fishing season in one’s vicinity.

If you prefer to leave the fish underwater, you may want to consider scuba diving and snorkeling. Visiting the colorful and exotic underwater habitats where you are the outsider is as close to visiting another world as we may ever achieve.

If nothing else, try the hobby of camping. Set up camp early in the morning, maybe do some local hiking and searching for Indian relics or if you’re back East, Colonial relics. Then have a cookout or picnic for lunch and dinner and spend the rest of the night telling scary or funny stories to your kids by the campfire. Be sure to take plenty of pictures for keepsakes.

To enjoy outdoor hobbies, one does not need to be rich. Yes, taking your family to resorts and recreational sites will cost a lot, however, if you truly have a passion for the outdoors, just fill your car’s gas tank, load some simple supplies in your car’s trunk for a lunch and head off to the outskirts of your city. I guarantee you will find something of interest.

Something I thoroughly enjoy is packing up the kids along with a big picnic basket, football, Frisbees, and swim suits in the car and heading out to the nearest National Park. This is so overlooked as a great outdoor activity for you and the family. Going to the parks is something the whole family can look forward to as a hobby and there is so much to see and do for everyone, after all your tax dollars have paid for them so you might as well take advantage of them.

Take advantage of every day you spend on this earth, we are only here for a short time, so don`t spend it all working yourself to death or sitting in front of the TV watching every episode of Dancing With The Stars.
