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?

    Sometimes, but not always. Whether it’s cardio or weights, I’d guess maybe 20% of sessions are amazing, 20% are garbage and I can’t wait to finish, and 60% are fine. I generally prefer weights, but there’s actually something really fun when you’re having an s-tier cardio session.
