Yeah, We (men) are wired to want to work hard. Being in a office or sitting in a chair all day is unnatural and has been for all of human history up until a few hundred years ago.
There is a reason why you go do "man stuff" and if you are tired/sore/etc (unless you have a hard to manage injury) you say things like "it hurts, but in a good way".
You also like to see the accomplishment of your work. It's kind of hard to see that on a screen. Not as hard to see that when you build a damn house or shed or till a field.
It's a reminder that we need to put limits on external forces and do what we sense or know is right.
