I work-out 3 times a week, play tennis once a week, read a lot, and play guitar.

Should I list each of these activities in the extracurricular/volunteer section on the primary? Seems sort of frivolous...

I didn't. They'll ask during your interviews about your hobbies but I don't believe they serve a purpose on the primary app.

If you want to put it in there just mark one of the box as hobbies and put it all in 1 box.

I remember Goro mentioning not to put this into the primary since some schools will ask you your interests in the secondaries.
 
lol I can't even remember if I put that stuff on my primary or not. doubtful, if I did it was a blip at the end. definitely covered it on some of my secondaries.
