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?

    The problem with only biking is that it will suck your muscles dry. You need to do some muscle training too.

        I rode my bike exclusively on the hardest hills known in my city. Like hills that took 2h and had inclinations that would make it extremely hard to start if you stopped pedaling.

        Fast forward 6 months. I have chicken legs.

          RIP your legs, I have freaking trunks. It’s stupid how big they are, I can’t get both hands around just above my knees. I would rather have chicken legs.
