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 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.
