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’ve been an athlete since a child so in some weird way I guess I’ve been raised to just enjoy the discomfort of working out because I know the reward is tenfold of whatever discomfort I’m feeling while working out. So basically don’t raise sedentary kids, give them a love of working out so they can live a healthy and happy life.
