      Oh no, not while high

      You push so hard you hit that exercise high where reality melts away and there’s only the movement and breath.

      One foot after another.

      One pedal pump after another.

      There is no gym.

      There are no people.

      There is no me.

      A flowing dance of rhythm.

      Move. Breathe. Move. Breathe. Move. Breathe.

      And the thunderous applause of my heart.

      There’s nothing else

      If someone asked me where I was, what day it was, or even who I was I wouldn’t know.

      That state is what I push for when doing cardio.

      Sometimes I even hit it during my sets and I basically run through my whole workout a second time due to how awesome I feel.

          Counter-point: I literally actually exercise high and lost a ton of weight because of it. Smoke/vape + music + late-night workout = I actually got in better shape.

      Weird how everyone reacts to things differently. Got a couple friends who love working out high. I can’t think of many things that sound worse
