In the past I hunted indian artifacts, but nobody plows anything around here anymore.
Does fishing count?
Fishing counts! Ever battle an AJ or billfish for two hours? Aboard the 1879 of course (Flower gardens, 83 miles offshore from Galveston). !
In a past life (i.e. my early 20s), I used to build tuna towers and marlin towers for Pipewelders Marine.

Also similar, I started the couch to 5K early this year and I also generally dislike running.
Unfortunately I tweaked my knee on a cold February day and for the first time went to physical therapy.
That therapy worked and now I want to shed some pounds and get back to the C25K.

Ice hockey player and distance runner. Fitness classes once or twice a week at the rec center. Also lots of walks around town and hikes and backpacking trips into the backcountry.

Can't say I'm a fan of the team, but at least it's not Philly. As for running, much as I hate it, I do enjoy just having 30 minutes of fresh air and music. My mind can wander and I don't miss anything important. I'm hoping that as I get into a groove, I'll come to enjoy the spacing out aspect and not have to deal with the pain as much. For now, it's mostly pain

I love my downtime and studying and collecting coins is so enjoyable and allows me to escape the daily hassles of everyday life. With that said, I know we each need to get out there, stretch and exercise to remain healthy.
Anyone here run or perform other feats? I picked up a Peloton right before the pandemic and have enjoyed cycling to stay active. Your option?
I walk 1 1/2 miles across dry sand and/or swim (1/2 mile )
I have the same attitude about coins as you do .
I manage money. I earn money. I save money . I give away money. I collect money. I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Triathlons. I do at least one Ironman branded event each year. I’m registered for my next race in Waco, TX in October. Crossing my fingers it won’t be canceled like all others so far in 2020 (like coin shows).
Nice car.....I like it a lot. I have a 2019 Cayman S with PDK and Sport Chrono package. Thanks for sharing the Ferrari drive it looks like a lot of fun and what an awesome car as well.
Bicycling, hiking, gardening, and birdwatching (usually combined with hiking.)
If you guys think that women find coin guys intriguing, wait until you tell them you are a coin nerd and a birdwatcher.
An irresistible combination.
Camping, hiking, surfing and hunting. We have wild invasive hogs in our area and are allowed to hunt them without a permit, so doing that tomorrow with a bow and arrow, the bacon last time was really good!!
I’ve always though jogging was the best return for the effort and time. I can do it anywhere with the least amount of gear and engage the entire body. Always feel noticeably uplifted and I get some of my best ideas and clarity while huffing air. Keep it simple. Can always throw in burpees and pushups etc.
I used to run, but since my knee replacements, I now walk every day through the woods for about 5 miles, listening to language tapes (Manderin now) and history podcasts. Pinky's my walking buddy:
Peleton, Yoga (teach and practice) and exotic gardening

Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Lots of vigorous walking every day, rain, snow, or shine. Usually 5-7 miles. Lots of wooded trails near my house. People have been reporting a random bear in the area, but I’ve yet to see him/her.

Always looking for original, better date VF20-VF35 Barber quarters and halves, and a quality beer.
We live just a few steps from the bay here in the San Francisco area and both working from home so we sneak in a walk on the bay trail almost every day:

Thank you! 2018 Softtail with modifications. Forward controls with floor boards. Windshield. Vance and Hines exhaust. Sportsman’s 2 up seat with driver backrest and sissy bar. The paint scheme is a throw back to the 1970’s when AMF owned Harley. Terrible bikes but cool paint.

The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
I play ice hockey in 2 leagues. I'm 65 and most of the people I'm playing with/ against are in their 20's to 40's. They keep me VERY active on the ice.
Hockey is a year round sport in Florida. There are four 12 week seasons a year with a week off between. It's very popular; thousands of teams in Florida!
Thank you! Before my move to California, NYC was my home. I think that’s where you are. Lots to like about both places in normalized times
Stay safe

For me, old age, back surgery, and worn out joints have reduced my running and weight lifting to walking, hiking, light weight training, rope work, and core strengthening.

Been doing the Peloton bike, but switching to the tread next week.
Funny you should ask.
I use Senokot or Herb-lax, seems to work for me.
But seriously, these last few mos have spent more time with immediate family then ever before.
I've had more time for internet coin browsing, always calming.
That, plus lots of walking is healthy for everyone.
Terrible year for me but a lot of hard core steep walking!

And for those keeping score, note I did not say golf club which would be the more likely scenario if we lived in different times.
