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 hate working out because it’s super boring. Like just standing there, not moving and just lifting weights… Or running in a circle on a track… Or even cycling with no where to go. It all seems pointless. However lately I have been rock climbing, specifically bouldering. It’s everything I want in working out. Problem solving, working my body in weird ways, and it’s very acceptable to socialize while you do it. After, my body is screaming at me, but I had a great time so it’s good!
