Feeling euphoric after exercise is a common experience, and it's often referred to as the "runner's high". This can occur after any type of exercise, including a short and vigorous 5 minute workout.

The euphoric feeling is thought to be caused by the release of endorphins, which are natural chemicals produced by the body that can reduce pain and produce a feeling of well-being. Endorphins can be released during exercise, particularly during more intense or prolonged workouts.

It's not uncommon for the effects of endorphins to last for a while after exercise, and it's possible to continue to feel a sense of euphoria for several hours or even days after a workout. This can be a great motivator to continue exercising regularly, as the positive effects can last beyond the actual workout.

However, if you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it's important to seek medical attention immediately. While feeling euphoric after exercise is normal, it's always important to listen to your body and seek medical care if you have any concerns.

Yup. Exercise regularly results in increase in endorphins. Feeling a happy high during or after is common.

This is also part of why exercise is the most functional cure for many people's depression. Feel-good responses. Increased energy to tackle things with. It is a pretty high payoff once you go for it.

Although... five minutes of vigorous workout. You know, if you pace it might go up to 10.
