What do people mean by an ‘endorphin rush’ after exercise, and what should you do to make it happen?

1.34K viewsBiologyOther

I don’t understand what the endorphin rush is. Everyone talks about it as if it’s a known thing but they never explain it. I’ve been going to the gym for around three months now and all I ever get is exhausted and weak, like my body is made of overcooked spaghetti, afterwards. What should I do to get this rush?

I have gotten runners high, generally:

1. Well rested, well hydrated

2. Longer run

3. High heart rate/fast speed for a good long time

4. Intentional deep breathing/hyper-oxygenation

5. Long downhill stretch

6. Crescendo music
