Lifting: I definitely don’t like while I’m doing it.
Riding my bike though: it’s great to get out there early in the morning and explore, see nature, etc. with the bike, I also just like the feeling of speed, so the physical act of riding can actually be enjoyable.
To a lesser degree, the same can apply to running. I find that when I’ve been in better shape, I could experience that runner’s high.
I’ve done both, though I have been typing mostly over the last couple of years.
There are those who feel that the act of writing by hand, while slower, can have benefits that typing doesn’t. Not sure I believe that, though I do believe that for some, hand writing is just the more enjoyable way to go.
For me, I write in Org Mode, which for this purpose is kind of like Markdown. I use Emacs on my computer, and an app called Plain Org on my phone.
