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?

That's how I started!! I still manually map each walk (which IS kind of a chore) on gmap-pedometer and My Maps (Google). I'm kinda afraid to stop--just incase something goes sideways with CityStrides! 😏

Cities in the US look so tidy with the way streets are laid down. Here's where I stopped mapping out my routes:

Old World vs New World? Fascinating. I refer to mine as "grid walks"--which I guess wouldn't apply to your variation!
