Your brain has a reward center, it activates when you enjoy something and signals your brain that what you are doing is worth remembering.
Think of it like giving your pet, treats, for doing whatever you want them to, teaching them a trick for example, you give them a treat whenever they perform the action.
Your brain in a similar way is giving you ‘treats’ when you perform exercise (action) so that you are inclined to repeat it.
