I realized I've need a hobby other than sitting in front of the computer all day.

What non-developer things do you love to do? :)

    @theScientist you can still do the latter though you might be seen as a child molestor

    Do something physical to counter your inactivity. Go rock climbing!

    Sex! Oh, wait. We're devolpers.

    I like reading books and going to the gym. The latter is the only way to fully clear my mind.

    Cooking. Not like i should eat something cooking. Learn recipes, spices, experiment

    Playing table tennis (great exercise for focusing) or learning foreign languages

    Most of what I do pretty much adds fuel to the fire that deems my social status.

    Any whom.

    I read, study history and language, play chess, play guitar, do some occasional gardening, and to be a bit more odd - I practice accents. Got it up to about 15 now, and I talk to myself with them.

    I'm a student, and for me developing is just one way of self-expression. I also work as a photographer (that's how I make money), and I also make music.

    Basically I try to study in term time, and split my free time between my girlfriend (yes, I don't know how, but I have a girlfriend) and these things 😄 Not easy, but they offer different challenges and rewards, so I never get bored.

    My kid is what, or rather who, I spend the time with. It's the most valuable and satisfying way to spend your time.

    I practice martial arts (Judo and Jiu-jitsu) and would recommend it to anyone. It can get quite intense, so I'd say that with only a few hours a week you're good to go in the sports department.

    Watch movies, read books

    For physical I would recommend Geocaching. You get your phone or GPS and find for hidden stuff and some of them you can trade stuff or just sign a logbook

    I play street football:) I was pretty bad at beginning but it gets better each time.

    Music. Learning an instrument (it is never too late for that) or learning music theory (which is fascinating btw).
    I play in a local coverband and we have a gig like every second weekend. Best thing is since a few years it doesn't pay that bad as well.
    At least for me as a student.
    Not doing anything for workout besides the band though. Maybe I should start something again.

    @UnknownDev get into group playing Ingress. Organize a farm or lead a team to close some large field.

    Yesterday was a MissionDay in Warsaw, my friend's organized it, I put my 3 pennies into this event.
    Couple months ago I took a part in organizing a trip to Anomaly event in a foreign country. It was awesome to be a part of such huge event!

    After all, you can meet lots and lots of new people while playing Ingress.

    @mrtnrdl good one, I usually try to listen to podcasts while working-out but books might also be nice!

    When I’m not doing developer things I’m generally designing, writing css and writing HTML.

    Then i’ll jump into developing again.

    I love to play harpsichord/piano, or just do music (I create it too)...
    I like playing games (who doesn't?), preferably music/rhythm games ^u^
    I also sometimes I think about the future and the fate of humanity. That's a bit edgy tho xD
