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 love running, but running is the worst when you haven’t run for a while. After a few weeks when your body is into it it feels amazing and I am craving to get out there. I do mostly trail running so for me it’s an opportunity to get out in the nature, a break from work and kids and just be by myself and enjoy the moment

      This is pretty much how it feels with anything fitness wise. It sucks at first then it gets better.
