What gives me pleasure in exercise isn’t actually movement at all; it is a shift in my breathing and an increased awareness of where various parts of my body are. Among the most reliably joyful things I do are yoga balancing poses, for example. More generally, anything that makes me breathe fully, expanding and filling my chest cavity, tends to be associated with a sense of joy.
