Discussion Trying to find something physical to do outside today. Any suggestions?

My usual weekend is reading or playing games. Which is understandable considering the Pacific Northwest of the United State of America is usually rainy this time of the year. But I need some fresh air and something to do. Unfortunately I injured myself running not to long ago. So I can’t hike for miles like I use to. I thought about going to my gym and focus my workouts on my upper body, but I’ve already been doing that. So I want to do something different. Any suggestions? That’s for reading

 

Bike? Less impactful on your knees, but can get you out there.
Yard work/putting up holiday decor?
Volunteer to pick up trash outside or some other community service?
Go dog walking at the ASPCA?
Holiday shopping at local artist gift shops?

 

Run naked around the police station.

 

Combine being active with gaming, and do VR.

 

Take pictures of the pretty fall leaves and post them so that hospitalized hamsters can enjoy the fall season too! T^T

 

Go swimming at an indoor pool

 

touch grass u pleb....nothing more physical than that.....other choice is to become a Roman by touching grains....

 

I just spent the week on the coast, so depending on how close you are you could go for a walk along the beach, or just get some clam chowder.

 

sit down on the balcony and read?

 

Very good suggestions. I really like the volunteer thing. I’ll look into it. Thanks

Let’s list that as plan B or maybe plan Z

Sadly I don’t own one, but I’ll think about getting one. Any system or games you can recommend?

Oh! I like this. This is right up there with volunteering

Yeah, I’ve been doing that after my workouts. It has help me loosen up

Hmm. Not sure that would be enough for me

Sadly, the beach is a good couple of hours away and that seems like to far out of the way. But I did like the idea

No balcony, but I like the idea of reading somewhere. Except for the cold wet environment part. I’ll think about



I want to thank everyone for all the great ideas. I really appreciate it

 

gardening~
shovel and hoe, dig the earth make field garden~ it train upper body~ hand muscle, back muscle, thigh and such~ hmmm unlike gym which power orient, field work build stamina orient which make despite slim build those farmer or construction worker quite strong~ sure it also have to do with repetition lol~
cut grass by using sickle can train your hand muscle if you just swing it~
climb tree saving cat.... maybe?

 

Dance?

 

Maybe I could volunteer and plant trees or something

Thanks!

I would love to dance. Especially, a Latin version. Love those, but sadly. As stated on my post dancing will be a problem because of my injury. Still that was awesome suggestion

 

Touch the grass outside your house.

 

swimming. getting one of the plaza sunshade sortatent thingies and setting it up in a field before the rain, then set out chairs and read under the rain sounds on the thingy. or just find a solid pavilion like they have in parks


play the string game in anime where you make webs in your hands and play with your kids?

stuff.

Get a ball and bounce it off the wall alone, like shadowboxing except volleyball.

shadowbox.

try parkour

 

I like the tent idea. As to parkour. Lol. I’m an old man. I’m not going to be doing those things anytime soon

 

Clean your house, Rearrange your house/ room, do any chores you can find, definitely gonna tire you out + you can do this daily. You can also look for things in the house and try DIY or just organize things.
You can also play games that require physical activities or just brain activity (dominos or games similar to track maze) . Meditation can also help, tho it's not too physical (meditation means focusing on everything you do, be it walking/ eating, the mainstream one is focusing on meditation objects).

 

The only bad part is that I won’t get my fresh air if stay in, but thanks for the suggestion

 

brain mush. dunno. swimmmm

Pat the hamsters!

YES!
