5 Indoor Hobbies to Try Today
Here’s a mix of creative and brain-teasing hobbies to experiment with at home. Try one or go ahead and try them all. Whether you stick with the hobby or not, it’s fun to try something new.
1. Dancing can be one of the best indoor hobbies to try
If you’re a Dancing With The Stars fan and you’re having withdrawals from not being able to watch new episodes, perhaps you can take things into your own hands. Try to learn some of the ballroom dance steps at home.
Though you probably won’t be able to dance like Derek Huff, you might be able to learn it well enough to dance at a wedding in the future or get some moves down at home just for fun. Find the easiest ballroom dances to learn. Some have fewer steps than others so research the simplest way to start.
Maybe you begin with The Paso Doble, The Waltz or The Cha Cha. Check out beginner video tutorials that break down the steps and practice little by little. Depending on how it goes, it can be a one time bucket list idea to check off you’re never ending list or an ongoing hobby that you can enjoy for the long term.
2. Playing an instrument can be the perfect hobby for men and women
Learning to play an instrument can be a rewarding experience. For beginners, the ukulele, harmonica and drums are often recommended. Firstly, these instruments are relatively simple to pick up. Secondly, they provide a solid foundation for musical skills.
Moreover, practicing regularly is crucial for improvement. Even a few minutes each day can make a difference.
Additionally, each instrument offers a unique way to express creativity. Therefore, starting with these options can be both enjoyable and beneficial.
3. Making fancy coffee is a fun hobby to try at home alone or with others
I discussed making DIY coffee presents and roasting your own coffee in previous posts, but I didn’t cover how to make fancy coffee at home. Many people have coffee makers and that can be a more cost effective solution for your java habit.
However, if you were hoping to learn how to make coffee like a barista, here are a few tips I learned from the interwebs. I found this video for how to make a latte without having to purchase a machine.
According to this video, for a small investment, all you’ll need is a french press, dessert spoon, kettle and a bag of coffee and some milk.
4. Learning about your ancestry can be a cool hobby to try
Lizzo sang a song a few years back about getting a DNA test. If you want to learn more about your heritage, consider doing the same and get a genetic testing kit. Once you order the kit, send your saliva sample to their cutting edge lab and wait 6-8 weeks for the online results.
It promises is to provide a “more precise ethnicity estimate with greater geographic detail and in-depth historical insights and connects you to the places in the world where your story started—from unique regions to living relatives.” How special!
While you’re waiting, think about ordering a simple tree chart. Jot down the relatives that you do know and create your own family tree. Keep it in a frame, scrapbook or transfer it onto a t-shirt for your next family reunion.
5. Games and brainteasers make great hobbies to try
Kanoodle and Picasso Tiles are captivating games that challenge players’ spatial reasoning and problem-solving skills. Engaging in these brain-teasing activities can provide a fun and rewarding hobby for both men and women.
The Flipside Game is an exciting handheld experience that challenges players to slide and match colors against the clock. With its multiplayer functionality, the Flipside game offers an engaging social gaming experience.
Conclusion for Indoor Hobbies to Do at Home
Although there are many indoor hobbies for men and women, these five are simple to do at home. I believe a list of hobbies to try should be easily accessible.
