Getting out of bed to exercise in the mornings is a lot easier if you know someone is waiting for you and will hold you accountable. But in your everyday life it can be hard to find someone else willing to meet up with you at ungodly hours. Just because someone thinks you're great and wants to date you doesn't necessarily meant they share your love of early mornings.
In the same way, it can be difficult to try new activities such as rock climbing without someone else to do it with you. And some sports like surfing can actually be dangerous to do by yourself if you're still a novice. However, trying to join a group can be intimidating when you are a complete novice, and paying to get lessons quickly becomes expensive.
One way around both these problems is join up to internet dating. No, not to try and pick up a surfer, but just to find activity partners. On the larger sites, especially the free ones, there are hundreds of people who are just looking to make new friends or learn something new, and are not necessarily looking for a romantic outcome.
This can be a great way to meet people in your area who are either interested in the same things you are, or prepared to teach you a new skill in return for being taught something themselves.
When writing up your profile, make it clear that you are looking for an activity partner and list out what you have to offer. If you want to take up tennis, see if someone else is interested in learning to play guitar. Or even just see if someone else is already going for jogs in your area at five in the morning and would be happy to have someone else tag along. Be open and you might be surprised by the skills that other people have to offer.
