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 have a blast playing Beat Saber every day 🤷

I just played this map like half an hour ago:

Note: I'm 45 and blind in one eye yet I still enjoy this game so much that I've lost 15 lbs and have vastly more stamina than I used to 👍

I also play Beat Saber several times a week! It's loads of fun. I find the multiplayer gets me competitive and I'll end up playing for up to 2 hours (assuming I've kept my endurance up).

I've never seen that replay feature before, that's really cool. I stopped playing modded songs a while ago because the plugin kept breaking and was incompatible with multiplayer. Has that gotten any better? (I play on SteamVR w/ Valve Index)

Dunno... I only play on Quest 2 (native) 🤷

BeatLeader is amazing though 👍
