Does anyone actually enjoy working out? (lemm.ee)

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?

That's a good metaphor. Biting into a pepper and enoying the burn. It's like using Linux just so you can say that you use Linux.

I also use Linux. I went to the gym once in 2002… I didn’t love it.

This is why we use Linux instead of going to the gym
