My experience is that I don't feel good after exercise at first. I have to keep it up for multiple weeks, until my body actually gets fit enough that I can pass some inner threshold of a Real Workout, and get my reward of a happy kind of exhaustion.

I'm currently out of shape and fighting to try and get myself to go exercise regularly enough that this happens again. It's not easy.

Keep going. It took some experimenting for me to realize what kind of strength training and cardio I liked. Try different things until you find something that is tolerable and then take it to the next level.
