I would kill to do a good workout. I've almost done it a couple times, too, figuring what the hell? Hell is probably the right word.

About two months ago, I felt amazing and I ran a little tiny bit...about 100 yards. Not very fast, but it was AWESOME.
I often dream of gymnastics and stretching, and yes it feels fantastic! Until you wake up. But it is better than when I am in severe crash, and I can feel the fatigue in my sleep so bad that I dream of not being able to walk. THAT sucks. I will take sleep exercise any day of the week!I used to love running. I sometimes dream about it, I can run (or swim) for miles and miles and it feels so damn good! And then I wake up.
I have had running dreams even before I ever heard of Forrest Gump. I used to love running. Even now I run for hours and engage in vigorous contact sports ... in my open world computer games. Sadly such games are sometimes too much for me. Even virtual exercise can be too hard sometimes.I used to love running.

I read a study some time ago (not sure if I'll find it again) that said that intense visualisation of exercise had some (not all of course) of the same positive effects as real exercise. I tried it, as I've found visualisations very useful in the past. But I crashed the same, I guess cause it involved so much mental concentration. Actually, even visualising exercise was hard, could hardly get my imaginary arm up.Even virtual exercise can be too hard sometimes.
