What are some activities which are free or inexpensive that I can do to entertain myself / keep good mental health while searching for a better paid job? (sh.itjust.works)

I recently moved to a new city and don’t know anybody here yet.

I want to try out some things and meet new people and avoid sitting at home all day (but sometimes is ok)

My ideas are hiking, volunteering and reading. What would you recommend? Any good ideas?

I actually like bodyweight fitness! Would love to learn some gymnastics too.

I have a gym very close by my home, but classes are 60$ per session or something. So not really frugal.

Would be cool to just meet up with some people in a park and do exercises together. Not sure of something like that exist here though.

Start working out in the park and see if people join. I see groups of people practicing gymnastics in the park near me. Also Chinese men with wooden swords recently started practicing in the park and I've seen them teaching strangers which is cool.

Basically you got to create the spaces that you want to see and people like you will join.

There are some exercises you can do at home

The best for you would be to have a kind of open air gym with pull up bars, but if not it's still doable to do some stuff at home
