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!

Walking/balancing on curbs, retaining walls, downed trees in the forest - pretty much anything.
Yeah, I do that too.
I did that 5 minutes ago when I went to get lunch… Sometimes I worry people will think I’m a kid
Just say you’re doing parkour ;)
Yup. Do that too like when I’m walking through a parking lot or something. Keeps me feeling young!
I still ride my loaded grocery cart down the parking lot to my car after each trip. It’s the little things in life.
You’ve got the wheels right there, no reason not to use them.
Work smarter not harder.
Hell yeah! I thought I was the only person who did that. It’s fun and efficient.
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 who’d 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.
I don’t trust people who don’t do this at least once per shopping trip.
Wait…adults don’t do this? Shit, my parents always did, and I do because it’s faster than walking xD
Running up stairs on all fours, like a monkey I am 40 years old
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:
- Head and Shoulder Rolls x5 to each side
- Hip Circles:l x5 to each side
- Arm Circles x5 to each side
- squats x10
- some others similar warm up exercises when I feel like it (ex. malasana squat)
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.
Me too bro. We all have a MONKE inside us.
It’s just more efficient!
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.
Same, but for me it’s a BMX bike.
Dune buggy
Beat me to it bro
I thought I was the only one that did this! Glad to know there are others out there!
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 :)
What kind of things do you craft?
Depression
How whimsical…
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! :)
At home I exclusively go up-stairs on all fours
I had to start doing that when I got old
That’s hilarious and I love it!!
Sometimes when I drive into a roundabout I’ll do a couple laps just for fun
deleted by creator
This is the most adorable thing I have read in a while
Way to brighten someone’s day with something simple. Super awesome!
I used to take the long route in the bus because it had more hills :)
I’ve never done this but reading this made me want to go do it next time!
Same! That roundabout happens to be right next to where we work on our racecar so it feels extra fun lol
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 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.
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!
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.
Costco makes me do this, since the giant cart instantly makes me feel that size again, and is built to push hundreds of pounds of things
I could never get those damn things to go straight for very far.
It slows you down a bit too, but you can steer by using one of your feet to create a bit of drag on one of the rear wheels. It’s pretty intuitive because left makes you go left and right makes you go right.
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.
Mee too, preferably when no one watches though
Balance on random things when I’m walking. Also imagine racing my cart sometimes when I’m at the store.
Stepping on crunchy leaves
Can’t help it either… and when you get a real good one, that’s all dry and super loud and crunchy… yes
Same for crunchy dirt when it’s cold enough but there’s not too much snow
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.
You’d be amazed. You’ll probably be doing it up to 60, as long as you don’t injur yourself.
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.
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.
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever thought about your second point. That’s a pretty great idea!
Have fun! It’s even better if you can pay attention and don’t have to manage the short attention span of the kids.
DINO NUGGETS
Those just hit different
Thr pterodactyls are the best.
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. 😢
Which would you advise to a hungry person with not enough chicken nuggets in their lives?
I go with whatever giant bag I can grab at Costco.
