I feel like I should pick up a hobby that doesn't involve a computer, something outdoorsy. Anyone else feel the same way?

    Is clubbing considered a healthy outdoor activity?

    Personally... Tried many sports, even dancing... Didn't like anything...
    The only two outdoor things that I like r
    swimming,
    Skating
    And it's been a long time since I did any of those two

    @Torbuntu depending on if there are hiking trails where you live, hiking to find a nice reading spout is a great way to read (one of my favorite hobbies), exercise, and connect with nature again.

    Living in the hills in the middle of nowhere, I have trails everywhere. It's awesome

    I've always enjoyed hiking.

    Though not outdoorsy, if you want something that's good exercise and played indoors/even at work, Table Tennis is a great sport. I highly recommend if you think you might like stuff like that.

    I ended up turning to music and getting a bass guitar. It's nice, when you're frustrated with the rigid nature of coding, to switch to a task that's more about the feeling than the rules & structure.

    I do a lot of cycling now. Good to go out and clear your head. Also lots of apps and fitness tracking gadgets suitable for a developer.

    Bouldering is very much like programming (problem solving, efficient algorithms, teamwork, ...). Maybe give it a try 😉

    I'm half car guy and half computer guy. While I won't suggest you spend an average month's income on a project car, it can prove fun if you're into it.

    Other than that I'd suggest what pretty much everyone else is saying: find somewhere to hike/jog and pick up a good book.
