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?
It took me a while. Once I was in shape, didn’t get horribly sore, could hit impressive PR’s, and saw undeniable results. That’s when I switched from “ugh gotta go to the gym” to “hell yes time to tear it up at the gym”
I think seeing the massive pattern of progress without dealing with the soreness is what I need to enjoy it.
