This is objectively not true for me and nearly all of my friends who lift/run/swim/bike/etc.
Physical activity feels good [see OP].

And/or you feel better having done it.
My cyclist friends love exercise for its own sake. My judo friends mostly accept it for what it enables them to do. My board game friends tolerate it, at most.
