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?

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

Yeah, grid walking would be frustrating to attempt here, haha.
