Active Hobbies For Women

Hiking or Running

Sure you could hop on a treadmill and run in place, but there is something magical about exploring outdoors if it’s available to you. Getting some fresh air and getting your heart rate up does wonders for you mentally and physically. Plus, these are really easy hobbies to start. All you need is a decent pair of athletic shoes.

Dancing

If you’ve ever hit the dance floor you know how much fun it can be to let loose. Whether it’s a choreographed routine, the tango, a foxtrot, ballroom, salsa, or even pole dancing you know how exhilarating it can be to fully be in your body and move to the music.

Yoga and Pilates

Practicing yoga and pilates is great for your body, mind, and spirit. The way that you move your body with your breath helps you to center yourself and release unwanted energy. What you learn on your mat can help you manage stress and improve your mindset throughout the day.

Spinning

Taking a spin class is an excellent way to keep your body in top physical shape without adding too much stress to your knees. It is also a great way to meet new people and possibly make new friends if there is a spin studio close to where you work or live.

Language Learning

Learning a new language is a great hobby because it exercises your brain and is an amazing way to introduce yourself to new cultures, people, and perspectives. Plus, it is incredibly useful to be able to speak a native language of a country you plan to visit. You can learn a language for free using an app like Duolingo (the paid version is great too!), take a local class, or find a tutor.

Brain Training

Homework and studying shouldn’t end when you get your diploma. It can be incredibly fun to keep sharpening your everyday skills by playing brain games to improve your memory, recall, math skills, writing skills, editing, speech, etc. This helps you stay sharp and can help improve your personal brand. Who doesn’t like to be known as intelligent? There are plenty of apps (like Elevate and Lumosity) that improve your skills so you can be more productive, increase your earning power, and improve your self-confidence.

Playing an Instrument or Singing

Though playing an instrument and singing require different skill sets, they are worthwhile hobbies for the same reason. It can be fun to create your own music or cover someone else’s. No need for an audience, unless you want one. Sing or play purely for your own entertainment. You might surprise yourself with how good you get.

Visiting Museums

Paying a visit to your local art, science, or history museums is a great way to enrich your mind, learn new things, and meet new people. Art and science museums are especially wonderful to visit periodically because the collections and exhibits change periodically.

Relaxing Hobbies For Women In Their 20s

Painting or Drawing

A blank canvas can be daunting, but when you fill it in with something from your imagination or perspective magic happens. Painting or drawing can be a great way to release emotions or convey your thoughts without having to use words. Take inspiration from the artists before you and create a style of your own. You can use your own pieces of art to display in your home or give them away as gifts.

Reading

The knowledge and imagination of millions of people are contained in books. Whisk yourself away to a faraway place, time, or realm in the pages of a good book. Reading also improves your vocabulary and ability to communicate so this relaxing hobby can sharpen your skills too.

Puzzles

It is satisfying to place the final piece of the puzzle you have been working on. To diligently work on a puzzle is relaxing because it requires nothing of you other than your eyes, hands, and matching skills. Plus, it has a very clear finish line. Puzzles are a great option for a hobby when the weather is less than optimal.

Interior decorating as a hobby is so useful because you learn how to make your space uniquely yours. There are plenty of YouTube channels, books, and blogs to learn from and you don’t have to break the bank. You can find affordable decor in a lot of places.
