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?

I like running in the morning. It gives me energy for the whole day.

    That's how I feel as well, I lift first thing in the morning before work and I feel like it helps carry me through the day.

    Also helps to feel accomplished honestly, despite how shitty the rest of the day may be at least I did something to better myself.
