I think the hard thing is that when people think of benefits they're looking for something akin to a runners high or like a post workout glow.
For me it's always felt not fun, and secretly think the idea of a runners high is a psyop to get you to join someone's running club.
I think people need to realize that the majority of the benefits are just as simple as maintaining mobility and offsetting some of the worse parts of aging.
Yeah, I always think about that clip of Arnold talking about how working out feels like cumming to him. I'm like, no wonder you look like that then ..
For me it got rid of all the stupid back pain I was having and just made me more fit in general. I helped a friend of mine move a bunch of wood a few weeks ago and between four of us I did probably 75% of the actual work. I was beat to hell at the end of the day but it was a pretty clear demonstration of what I was getting out of staying in shape. Also I get compliments fairly often about my physique which is nice. Sometimes they even come from women.
I get a runner's high and still hate running. I'm convinced it's the same thing as the masochistic endorphin rush.
And yeah the benefits of exercise aren't when you do it unless you find a kind you love, it's the rest of the day once you're in shape
