Fucking love it. I'm an absolute gym rat.
Problem is, I'm currently wasting away due to severe anemia, and in the last 2 months, I've gone from deadlifting 500lbs to barely being able to carry in groceries.

It depends on the exercise for me. Weights/ strength training I struggle to enjoy but going for a run is my jam. It can get pretty rough on the longer runs but every time when I finish and catch my breath I generally feel a lot happier about myself and find dealing with life a lot easier.
I, for one, am disappointed in our evolution. We should be able to control every cell in our body by now and not have to exercise. But I guess this is the end of the road for our evolution lol. This is as good as it gets, folks.
Love working out, more body weight and running then anything.
I need to change my sports up periodically but yes I do enjoy working out in the moment. It gives me a lot of time to myself to think through things going on in my life. Last year I was mainly cycling, this year I've been swimming on a Masters team, competing in Nationals and exploring open water swim competitions. I get really cranky when I don't have a physical activity to keep me preoccupied. I'm very aware of my body image so it helps to ensure I'm feeling good about myself. That and I get to eat all the unhealthy things with less consequences of gaining the weight (although salt is a weakness for me and my blood pressure).
I actively enjoy climbing. It's just fun and kind of an exercise. For lifting, I don't mind it but it's definitely an effort some days.
I prefer the dentist tbh. She is cute though ๐
Yes. or else why would you even grab a single weighted object. ?
I do martial arts so it's a bit different, but I do really enjoy moving around and getting tired.
