The high you get after exercising

thisismynewmindset

I love it when, after I exercise, about a 15 minutes to a half hour after I exercise, when my heart rate is back to normal, I feel... different. Good different.

It's hard to explain but it's like coming out of the spa after a long massage, or the feeling you get when you settle into a hot tub and just relax.

It's a high... of some sort, for a lack of better words.

Am I the only one who feels this?

Nope, very normal I think it's from endorphines.

Not at all - I love the way I feel after I've finished in the gym

Yep - endorphines :bigsmile:

Makes me feel amazing and also helps to keep depression at bay I heard.

It's the endorphins. I love the high! It's the only time I ever feel really really good!! Lol Definitely keeps me exercising.

It is the endorphins that are released. The harder you work, the more endorphins. This is why many people become addicted to exercise and why exercise helps with depression and anxiety problems. I love it!

I feel great too after a workout. Especially when I come home & have a nice hot shower. Our shower is really high pressured and feels like a massage
