Wow, this thread has been really eye opening. As someone who completely hates exercise (I honestly can't imagine many other things that are more unpleasant), it had never really occurred to me that people exercised because they genuinely enjoyed it. I always just assumed that everyone else hated it and just forced themselves into it.
one lesson life gave me was:
no matter how fundamentally and universally hated you think something is, there's always some individuals, communities and/or cultures who enjoy said thing.
the same opposition goes for things you assume everyone loves.
it's amazing how incredibly complex and diverse humans are.
