I get into the "zone" or even get a high from various types of activities. It is very pleasurable when from exercise so sometimes I wonder why I tend to sedentary. After maybe 5 miles on the bike I often hit that high state as I pedal along. When I used to play in an orchestra I would feel the same way. Playing an instrument can be surprisingly physical.
