Having a hobby that engages you physically as well as mentally is particularly beneficial. Hobbies needn’t be expensive either.  Gardening, bird watching and photography are examples of hobbies that will bring you outside and get you moving.  Psychologist Michael Brickey, author of the book Defy Aging, notes that hobbies reduce stress and provide a sense of accomplishment.

So don’t quit your hobbies in your retirement. Staying active on your hobbies and living a quality retirement life.
