I dont get a high from any kind of exercise. I just feel like crap if I dont do it!

Don't you feel great after a weight session? Pumped up and ready to take on the world? I mean generally I feel awesome unless I've overdone it... .

Chuckling at all you lucky folks that get any sense of a 'high' from exercise.

Bloody nothing over here. It's just a task to be completed for body maintenance. I WISH it made me feel good during or after!

Pick something you enjoy! More to lifting than just going to a gym- bodybuilding, strongman, crossfit, OL, powerlifting.... and that’s just for weights.

Do it with purpose, and you’ll want to do it, because you have an aim.

Quick blast on the bike at lunch - 14km at 30.7km/h and some decent power numbers

I get what you're saying, but sadly my brain and body just don't work like that. I don't get a high.

Tempted to say that you just haven't found the right sport yet.

The one sport that really me zone (or zen?!) out, is rock climbing, and in particular, dry tooling - and that's nothing like running or weight-based training.

will try going for a run tonight.

Ok, let us know how you get on.

It was too cold, and I was a wuss, so did a HIT workout in the living room instead! If I get the time today I'll go for a lunchtime run.

Cool, well at least you managed to substitute it with another form of activity.

Just different personality types. I never get any kind of high from any solitary training. Sport is different. Lots of happy feels from football or martial arts.

Yeah, that's also a fair point.

I committed myself to doing a half marathon In November yesterday. I'm 139kg currently and after doing intervals for 5k today and yesterday I can barely make it up my stairs now! This feeling of clarity people get from running hasn't hit me yet!

[mcelliott]

I've never got runners high, just runners thigh , anyway today is more of the same , bay swim press ups and a horrid session on Zwift, feeling really strong and light on my feet at the moment, gyms open next Monday too.

I dislike team sports- I like when I’m solely responsible for my progress. I loved climbing when I did, but was more a fan of technical bouldering by the end. MT, boxing, strongman, OL, Powerlifting, bodybuilding, and now I just like getting big and strong and fit. I’ll never be a runner, Im too big for now, and I don’t want to be, but if I can bang out a mile at a decent pace, that’s all I want. Far enough to get away from zombies see.

If I can total 800kg in powerlifting, run a 7 min mile, do muscle ups, and Be in shape step on stage with 3 months notice- that’s a good level in my mind.

I've made exactly the same observations about the zombie apocalypse to friends as well!
