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’m not a massive fan of cario at the gym the staying in one place and doing all that work, but cario outside like a good hike, bike ride love it especially when there isa goal to see something.

    I prefer and love lifting weights something about the feeling of picking up 100kgs and putting it down again feels so good, especially when i have a good playlist.

    I have found it get more socal as well and scratches that itch in my hermit brain as you talk to other people who are also there and get to motivate and enjoy when they hit pbs.
