Weight lifting, partially combined with boxing when I was younger, especially. It ends up being a mix of cardio and weight lifting, because you have to be fluid and high stamina when sparring and stuff.

Firearms, collecting them, cleaning them, modifying/upgrading them, and of course shooting them. I own them for self-defense reasons, but there is plenty of fun to be had beyond training at the range... for example shooting clay pigeons (trap shooting) with a 12 gauge shotgun (or if you have a lot of skill, something smaller like a .410 shotgun.)

Cars, I love working on them, racing them... I'd say collecting them but that takes a lot more money than the above hobby. I go the track when I can, but I'm guilty of occasionally picking on ricers in the street. I love turning a wrench over a beer with a buddy.

Computers, I don't know if this counts as video games, but I love the hardware part, too. It's like working on a car, just smaller screws. I've helped quite a few buddies build their gaming PC for them; sometimes really fun builds like custom liquid cooling loops and such.

Drinking, if that counts as a hobby. I like trying new micro brews (or new beers in general). I'll drink anything, really, I just prefer darker beers. I drank Bud Lite with Kim Coates and Theo Rossi (Tig Trager and Juice Ortiz from Sons of Anarchy), but that's because that was the only beer the Harley dealership was offering. I didn't go "man, I'd rather have a Bud Lite than a Guinness right now". Heh. But my relationship with alcohol is strange. I like to drink to have fun with friends, I don't like drinking when I'm sad. One of the reasons I haven't had anything to drink in a while.

I haven't really been involved in ANY of the above hobbies since the passing of my wife... Including video games...
