Unusual Hobbies!


So, you have all this free time now that A Helping Hand is taking care of your cleaning. What are you doing with it? If you’re not doing anything with that extra time, maybe you should pick up a hobby… but not just any hobby. Instead of knitting, playing solitaire, or collecting things, try one of these unusual hobbies!

Parkour, or freerunning: The object of this is to get from point A to point B, in the most creative way possible. This includes tight-rope walking on handrails, jumping over parked cars, leaping from building to building, or even things as simple as jumping off of a curb while shouting and throwing your hands in the air!

Noodling: This has been made famous by the show, “Hillbilly Handfishing.” Instead of using a fishing pole and a worm, you use your hand as the bait! Catfish usually hang out in holes in lakes or rivers, so all you have to do is shove your hand in one and wait for the catfish to bite it, then reel in your catch.

Appearing in the background on TV: Ever see a news van parked outside of a building, or TV reporter setting up for a live story? Why don’t you hang out for a bit, and try to get on TV. Figure out what station it is, and tell your friends to turn on the news and check out the TV star in the background! See how many news stories you can be in the background of in 2012!

Laughter Yoga: Yoga is good for your health, laughter is good for your health, why not do both at the same time?! I’ll let the video explain this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahhN3Ryw4O4
