Whenever I read about reasons why people end up giving up on the gym boredom seems like it is always one of the main reasons. When I’m at the gym lots of thoughts go through my head.

"Ow, this hurts."
"Just have to make it through two more reps."
"I can’t believe I can lift this much more weight now."
"OMG this is heavy!"
"I really enjoy this particular exercise."
"Ew, who left a giant sweat puddle?"
"Oh no, they’re playing that Rob Thomas song again. "
"Yay! I gained weight."
"****! I lost weight."
"Wow, this pump feels amazing."

But I never, ever get close to thinking "I’m bored." I can’t wrap my head around how someone could think that. An intense gym session is such a rush. It’s the opposite of boring. Is this because I’m a cardio slacker? If all I did at the gym was walk on a treadmill then maybe I could understand.
