Exercise seems miserable, but most exercise isn’t actually that intense, and your body adapts. Your body craves it. I feel great after workouts, and tense on my rest days.
At times it becomes utterly blissful, like spiritually blissful, and leaves you feeling relaxed and happy otherwise.
People have a vested interest in pretending exercise is miserable to cast themselves as spiritually superior, but they actually usually like it quite a bit.
- tootie 3y agoI mean, I have exercised pretty intensely when I was younger and it never didn't feel like work. Not when I was doing something solo like weight lifting or something more socially engaging like martial arts. There were times it was moderately satisfying if I could perform a technique smoothly for the first time, but it never didn't feel like work. And I hurt myself overexerting more than once. As a middle-aged person, it's much worse. It's not only not satisfying, but extremely difficult to get any measurable results. Lifting weights routinely left me sore and not any stronger when I recovered. Exercise is very much miserable and I don't like it at all. I presume it's biological to some degree that some people feel the bliss and some just don't.
