For me, it's sticking my hand out of the window of a moving car. Whether I'm driving or not, I love having the windows down and waving my hand in the wind. I've loved it since I was a child and I'll never stop doing it!

I still ride my loaded grocery cart down the parking lot to my car after each trip. Itβs the little things in life.
On a similar note, they make healies in adult sizes. Got a pair for my 21st as a gag gift, and ended up using them to walk my dog all the time. He's a lil guy, but hes a dense 15lbs of muscle and he could pretty easily pull me up to that "oh shit" speed.
I remember there being a guy in one of my college classes whoβd roll down the aisle of the lecture hall on healies to his seat everyday. What a legend.
I love skating in the parking lot with an empty shopping cart! But since I had a little unhappy accident I'm a bit afraid of using a cart full of groceries.
Wait....adults don't do this? Shit, my parents always did, and I do because it's faster than walking xD
Walking/balancing on curbs, retaining walls, downed trees in the forest - pretty much anything.
I did that 5 minutes ago when I went to get lunch.. Sometimes I worry people will think I'm a kid
Yup. Do that too like when I'm walking through a parking lot or something. Keeps me feeling young!
Congrats on still being able to bend over at 40! I'm 2 years from 30 and everytime I bend over something pops lol.
If you're not stretching daily, you're gonna hate life. I'm also not stretching daily so uhhh do as I say not as I do? Lol
I can recomend to do just something easy. Find easiest and shortest routine (that lasts 2 minutes, literally) and do it in the morning.
Since I startet it, I feel much much better. It is not like full exercise, but at least muscles don't hurt as much.
I do:
Idea is to move every muscle in my body. It is not hard, lasts 2-3 minutes but makes my day few percents nicer.
You should add in toe touches, everyone should be able to touch their toes without bending at the knees. I recommend bending you're knees, touch your toes, straighten your knees out till you feel the stretch, hold for a few seconds, do like 10 times.
It's not that often that I'm in a car I'm not driving anymore, but when I'm a passenger you can bet your ass I'm imagining a little ninja dude running along side the car, doing sick ninja flips over stuff on the side of the road.
For me it's a skateboarder. Doing kickflips into grinding the rails and using the environment as ramps and obstacles. Tunnels suck.
I have summers off from work (am a teacher), which I COULD be using to get tons of errands done, renovating the house, working out, etcetc. However, I am currently spending it sleeping in, playing too many video games, staying up late, crafting, reading, etc, which is exactly what I did during summer as a kid as well. It's been nice :)
Too many things, sporadically!
I tend to hop between different craft types randomly, depending on my current interest. But some of the ones I've enjoyed at various times the last year or so are crocheting (learning how to make little stuffed animals right now!!), watercolor and gouache painting, putting miniature kits together, origami, simple jewelry making, pottery, etc! :)
Oh man, Saturday morning cartoons just hit the spot! A bowl of cereal with the addition of a cup of coffee.
I discovered thereβs giant 5 hour+ videos of entire Saturday morning cartoon blocks from all different networks from the 90s on YouTube. Complete with bumpers and vintage ads.
I have to be up early on Saturdays now because the baby doesnβt understand sleeping in so I put these on.
Mind sharing the name of the YouTube channel? Sounds like something future me needs tomorrow or Sunday morning :)
Same! That roundabout happens to be right next to where we work on our racecar so it feels extra fun lol
when you go shopping, push off with your trolley and pull yourself up to go for a little ride down an empty isle. 40m and I still do it
Came here to post something similar. I'm in my 30s but can't resist going for a little "cart-ride" in the parking lot when going back to my car.
Me and my wife (no kids) have recently decided to do the 'stuff you enjoyed being a kid' type outings. Such as dino parks, castles, zoos, theme parks.
If you are an adult having kids is usually how you end up in those places and we decided just to do those things for ourselves.
Sandwich biscuits (like Oreo and the likes, but there are plenty local brands) are extremely popular among kids where I live. I still eat them, the same way as I did as a kid: split them in halves, eat the filling-less halves, and then join the halves with filling so I get to eat biscuits with 2x more filling.
Oh thank god I'm no longer alone! Not that I probably was, I imagine tons of people do this, but I was the only one in my family that did. Whoo! There are at least two of us now!
Happened so much they came out with double stuffed oreos.... to which I clearly still did the same and had "4x" the center
I love my nuggies as much as the next self respecting autistic, but I've bitten into too many bones to stay with the dinos... Even if they'd slap with the air fryer now. π’
Which would you advise to a hungry person with not enough chicken nuggets in their lives?
Balance on random things when I'm walking. Also imagine racing my cart sometimes when I'm at the store.
Can't help it either.. and when you get a real good one, that's all dry and super loud and crunchy... yes
Running short distances for no particular reason. Like if I'm a short distance from the car and realize I forgot something in it, I'll run there and then run back.
Sometimes people are like "what's wrong?? why are you running??" and I'm just like why not? It's fun.
Laser tag. Shit's great, the shine does get taken off somewhat when I do really well and rank top but all my opponents are small children and their parents look vaguely annoyed.
I've found that I've been enjoying Archery Tag, also sometimes called Archery Games as a fun replacement for laser tag. It's basically dodgeball but with marshmallow tipped bows and arrows. Shits fun and great exercise.
Where do you get to do this? Saw it a few years back and forgot about it. Looks like so much fun!
I assume if you search on maps for archery tag it will pop up. Idk if there are facilities everywhere.
If you have a large family you can also just buy the equipment yourself for not like crazy expensive
I did this one about three years ago with my niece for her birthday party and her friends. Just a few of us adults took part as everyone else thought it was too childish.
It felt great to scream and yell in the dark ... I became a squad leader, rounded up my team and got them to scream as loud as possible as we charged the enemy .. I also ran with my niece and ran cover for her .. had a total blast and I was completely exhausted at the end of it all. Nothing like playing games with a bunch of sugar intoxicated ten year olds.
I woke up the next morning and I couldn't stand up ... my thighs were completely crapped from having to crouch, walk and run for two hours the day before.
All completely worth it though.
At home my main mode of locomotion is skipping, it's just fun, also it's faster than walking
Even though it's more of a stress reducer and to help me calm down, I like to snuggle and cuddle with my favorite stuffed rabbit. It also brings me back somewhat to when I was a kid and had tons of stuffed animals.
One of the girls I was dating forgot to hide her stuffed animals when I came over for a movie night. She was embarrassed, but I thought it was really sweet. It shows the more human aspect of people :)
When I started dating my current BF years later, and saw that he had two stuffed animals on his bed that he sleeps with each night, I knew he was a keeper!
That is really sweet. In the past, I've thought it was a little weird when adults have security blankets and stuffed animals they sleep with, but you are totally right that it shows their humanity. Everyone has a need to feel safe, especially at night, and if that comfort comes from a stuffed animal, so be it!
47 and I still try to get out to a skatepark at least twice a week.
No idea how long I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to make every session count.
So, as long as I don't don't injure myself.... in 37 years of skating....
Are there any other options I could consider? Cause that ship sailed a long time ago :)
Honestly though, while its forced me to change my style of skating, I enjoy it as much now as I ever have. Learning new tricks, getting a solid whole body work out, meeting and hanging out with new people, it's all still there.
