Does anyone else feel like you are on a high after working out? If so, is that normal?

    I do, definitely, though it manifests in my experience with being completely hyper and not being able to stop talking. I'm not normally short of a few words, but post-workout I am ultra "high" and it does take me a while to calm down :) Must be those famous endorphins.

    Ok, thanks! I was wondering about that cause after working out I feel high and I was not sure if that was normal or if I was pushing too hard.

    Nope, you'll know if you are pushing too hard :) This is all good!

    I'm actually kind of jealous, because this rarely happens for me. I am usually a rock after a workout, because I feel tired and my limbs just feel like they are made out of concrete when I'm done.

    If I felt that good after working out, I'd do it a lot more often!

    It happens to me sometimes after a good run, especially on really, really cold days. Some of my best runs have been when it was <5 degrees.

    I do feel high after I work out. I could become a real fitness nut (no offense intended to the real fitness nuts, I'm just jealous) if it wasn't for the moderating influence of my kids. If I could work out all day, I totally would! =D

    YES!

    After doing indoor cycle I actually have a high for like 30 minutes. So much that I find I skip home and snap my fingers to the beat of the ipod music.

    I love that!

    Yes, it's what keeps me coming back for more.

    Well, that and the additional calories I get to consume.
