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 figured out for myself that I need to have a goal when working out.
Instead of aimlessly running on a treadmill, I’d rather go cycling to some nice place with a view.
Instead of lifting weights a number of times, I rather climb up a wall and challenge myself mentally in addition to physically.
