How about simple enjoyment? I don't know what kind of exercise you're doing, but e.g. for running most people who get through the initial pain end up really enjoying it. I'm sure there are parallels for other forms of exercise.

I'm nowhere near the point where I can enjoy exercise. I'm mainly concentrating on bodyweight exercises right now, and even just 20 push-ups in a row is painful, and I'm not yet able to push much farther than that at a stretch. (There are /reasons/ why I've started exercising...)

(On the other hand, I'm quite fond of walking and hiking - but I've been doing that all along anyway.)
