I can imagine people having fun getting lost in the flow of playing a competitive sport. I’ve also heard some people experience a post-workout high. But does anyone actually feel pleasure in the moment while lifting weights, jogging, cycling, etc?

If so… what does it feel like? Is there anything the rest of us can do to cultivate such a mindset?

    I can definitely lose myself in the flow of accomplishing a workout the same as I used to playing sports.

    I also usually like the feeling of being a little sore/achy knowing I did something worth doing that day.

    I like the feeling of not being winded walking up stairs and feeling like I can carry all the weight without much effort.

    I like eating a pile of food knowing my body needs to eat because it had to work.

    Somedays though, working out and all the rest of it just sucks.
