The high you get after exercising

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?

It's the endorphins. I love the high! It's the only time I ever feel really really good!! Lol Definitely keeps me exercising.0

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!0
