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?

Yeah good call, I've had a few warnings and I won't be using it daily or anything like that, it's usually a post climb exercise for me, or if I can't climb on my usual days I will do a short training session, maybe 20min or so total with 1minute rests between hangs (usually one jug one finger pocket thing).

I'm still very new to this and can only hang for 10 seconds from fingers alone, still a long way to go.
