Why does gym make you feel so good and empowered after exercise? I always have a good mood after an exercise?

[CoolCatMar1]

I know it has to do with endorphins but still...

[Wise4myage]

Because you’re doing something healthy and positive for both your mind and your body.😊

[CoolCatMar1]

Yesss

[Joker_]

I think it has something to do with endorphins

[Ben487]

I don't get this feeling good part. When I work out it just makes everything hurt after, I get extremely tired, uncomfortably hot/dizzy. I have to change my clothes and take a shower then to do anything else that day. Sometimes I'll feel the aches the next day or two if I went hard. It really sucks.

[Blueeyes81]

Welcome to old age. Working out reduces my quality of life therefore I no longer enjoy it. I groan enough as it is getting up after sitting a couple of hours. No need to add to it.

[Ben487]

were not that old but yeah it is going to just get worse : (

When you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which are chemicals that act on the brain's opiate receptors to produce a feeling of euphoria. Additionally, exercise releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter that regulates pleasure and motivation.

Also, exercise increases your heart rate and breathing, which can lead to a release of stress and tension. All of these things contribute to the "feel-good" sensation that people experience after exercising.

I feel good when I reduce my calories because I know it’s like a beauty treatment for me so exercise for health or any physical reason at all might have a similar affect.

[OfMiceandMen]

For me, it's the self image thing. When I look in the mirror and notice a difference, it makes me feel good.

Because your body needs it , and thanks you for it. Eat right, sleep right, workout right! And you'll just keep getting better and happier. Health for the win!

Yes, it is endorphins but also boosting your metabolism will make you more alert.

[Christoff92]

Builds your confidence and lowers down your Cortisol stress hormone.

[Cubus]

Doing physical activities makes your body release some hormones that make you feel good.

[motownplayer2000]

That’s it. Endorphins give you a high. Hormones do a lot for a persons mood.

[htmndg183]

I guess because there's an element of feeling productive once you're done.

[Kingofkings1992]

Endorphins. You just answered your own question. It’s a natural high

[Paul_in_Indy]

Plus, sex is better after the gym.

[lightbulb27]

[stratford]

Normally I just hurt 😂

[Keishio]
