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 would if I could, but my body doesn’t like that. Usually do 3-4 times per week and try to cross train on my off days. I lift but I don’t get that same meditative feeling. Cycling is close but still not quite the same.
