Does anyone actually enjoy working out?
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 cycling, although I would say it's a combination of travel + physical activity that does it for me. I can also listen to some stuff in the background while cycling, which satisfies my ADHD monkey brain, because it's two (or three) experiences crammed into one time slot (efficiency!).
I love cycling too and during the lockdowns of the pandemics I discovered that pedaling isn't what I love about cycling, I just got so bored of pedaling on the roller I just couldn't force myself doing it more than twice. Now when I get on my bike and ride for many kilometers I really enjoy it.
