Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
I feel pleasure while my bicycle. The feeling is a mixture of childhood play and feelgood brain chemicals.
I like to go fast :)
I know exactly what you're talking about. I can't run seriously anymore (knees failing me), but I still dream about running fast and easily.
Similarly, when you get a smooth bike ride up to 20+ MPH and cruise there it's really fun.
I like the feeling of progress as I’m still in the “noticeable improvement” phase of workouts, but while I’m actually on the bike I just kinda feel bored
I can push through it but it’s a means to an end, and I feel better after, not during.
you need a ferrari, not a bicycle
Are you trying to get them killed? Ferraris are expensive death machine.
You missed the point about exercise...
