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’s more the feeling of satisfaction and less a feeling of pleasure.
Working out is not a pleasurable thing, it’s hard, tiring, and painful.
But you see positive changes in your body, you feel better day to day and you know you are adding years on to your life.
This is what makes it enjoyable. But it will not be like this on day one. It will be like this maybe after 2-4 weeks of doing it consistently.
Also you have to eat right. If your just eating junk you may not feel as good.
