I've recently gotten back into Longboarding (like, skateboarding), and surfing. Both are relatively cheap hobbies once you get the necessary equipment, and I've been having a blast. Feel like a kid again tbh, I feel like I haven't "played" outside for years outside of some hiking and stuff
Those definitely count. I've been lifting for years and pushing up in weight is something that is super satisfying
My current favorite feeling in the world is the feeling in your chest when you place the bar back on the rack and put your arms down
Place weights on the rack? I just chuck them across the room when I'm done
