Does anyone actually enjoy working out? (lemm.ee)

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?

Where do walk from/to? Is there a place you go to (like a large park) or do you just walk instead of drive?

    I live on the coast, my home being a five minute walk from the beach, and between two large towns. In between is countryside one side or quiet roads the other side. So wherever I go, I can take the residential routes (all suitable for pedestrians), walk along the coastline, or go around through the woods and parks.

    So on Monday I walked through a country park, around a large bay, through to town to buy some lunch. I then walked alongside the beach up to a forest path, then to the next town where I looked at a few shops and walked back a slightly different way!

    Two photos from yesterday and a few days back. It's probably one of the nicest areas in the country, which helps: https://i.postimg.cc/T2QCGNvq/IMG-20230709-144117.jpg

    And the other one:
