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 get the natural endorphins “runner’s high.” Music sound beautiful and all is well. And the cardiovascular exercise is good for me.

      Sometimes I think this must be genetic predisposition that not everyone has. Some people get an endorphin high, other people can taste cilantro.

        Not a doctor but most likely. I’ve heard a lot about it but I’ve been working out and trying spicy food for a long time but its never a fun time.
