I'm not in your camp, but I get where you're coming from. I used to be marginally active, trying to get a run in every now and then, but it sucked almost every time. I pushed and pushed and it still was terrible. Then I found sports / activities that I really liked. Hiking in nature, squash, rock climbing. The latter two feel more like games / puzzle to me, and while I am confronted with exertion, I get totally lost in the moment when doing them. I still run, it's still grueling, but I do it to be better at the things I love doing, which motivates me.
