Vermiculture - breeding worms and harvesting their casting.
Outside of software development I enjoy gardening, farming/breeding worms and collecting their compost for the garden was a fun hobby I could dive into. It is a great amendment to my garden's soil and just a unique thing I can do on my own. I would like to start a small side business selling the castings, extracts, and worms one day.
My tip, which helped me become consistent and motivated at the gym, is to make it part of your morning ritual. I am a morning person, so I find that making it a non-negotiable part of my morning forces me into the habit and also forces me to consistently eat a solid breakfast. At first I felt that I needed to force myself to go, but at this point I am so deep in the habit that I look forward to it each morning.
Dumbbells are a great alternative. You can still get injured, but you can also push yourself knowing that you can drop the weight and not risk it crushing you.
