7. Opportunities for education

This doesn’t sound exactly like a hobby, right? Well, for a lot of seniors, educational opportunities are exactly what they’ve always wanted. Some of them want to improve their communication skills, while others are up for learning new things. That’s why a lot of state universities are welcoming older adults to participate and engage in free classes throughout the semester.

One of these universities is located in South Carolina and allows seniors over 60 to take classes without paying anything. Now that’s amazing! If you waited for a sign to learn that foreign language you always wanted to, now is the time. Furthermore, this is also a great “excuse” for you to travel to that country to exercise your spelling!

8. Golf

There’s a good reason we left golf last! Without intending to make a joke, this is essentially the oldest hobby for elders. Golf helps maintain one’s wellness because it utilizes every muscle and offers a good, gentle cardio workout (you can burn at least 1500 calories in one game), in addition to being simple to master.

These were the top eight most popular hobbies for American seniors. Now, it’s up to you to choose one or focus on the ones that you already have. And because we love hearing from our readers, please leave us a comment with your favorite!

    Am surprised that “Walmart Greeter” or “Coupon/Obituary Clipper” was not listed in the top 10.

    Great Article. #2 is Interesting because I actually live in that blace (Brazil) I always thought about. However nowadays the kids don’t want to move out the house, so you need to postpone the travel. My wife loves the Gardening. I create Learning Videos.

    Ceramics works for me! Putting the detail back in at the seams. Takes your mind off a lot of things while your doing this. Will do some painting, drawing, sketching, etc.
