When did yoga or any exercise become a hobby?

[Anonymous]

I thought staying in shape was something you’re supposed to do. It’s not really a hobby at least in my opinion.

I think a hobby is more something like fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, sewing, crafting, painting, writing, and the list goes on

I'd say it happened when humanity stopped needing to fight like hell for every scrap of food.

And anyway, if you enjoy doing something, why can't it be a hobby?

Yoga does tick the hobby box. The thing is it’s usually Hobbies, Pastimes and interests, we tend to be lazy and just shove stuff in the hobby box.

having it as a hobby makes it easier to do... so why not support it
hobby definition: "an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure."...

True but I don’t know how pleasurable exercise really is because it’s not really pleasurable by any means. It’s mostly staying healthy and staying in shape

I mean technically video games is a hobby by that standard. So is playing with oneself…..

[HelpfulWoman]

video games IS a hobby.
and exercising releases endorphins?
your ignorance and stupidity does not a convincing argument make XD

Well I do not really enjoy the gym, but I love the dojo and I love running, so to me those would qualify under the definition.
