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?

    This is one of the reasons why working out in VR with games such as Beatsaber and Ragnarock impacted my health quite positively. Workout is no longer an inner battle trying to fight myself, but a very enjoyable hour of my day(but it’s important to move ASAP to both games’ higher difficulties!). Have been doing it for almost two years and it doesn’t get old. I’m also quite musical, so that might have a lot to do with the enjoyment.
