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 love CrossFit, but I’m not culty about it. I don’t really care for the community aspect of it, and in fact, I prefer to go during “open gym” instead of normal classes.

    But I like it because someone else sets the workout, it’s different every day, and every movement is scalable to my needs. Add on to the fact that I’m seeing noticeable progress in my strength, conditioning, and physique, and sometimes I do actually enjoy the work in the moment.

    I also enjoy running because I’m one of those weirdos.
