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

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 get it from running or cycling for a *longer* time than usual.

Not harder, just longer. I feel this is when I’m in the fat burning zone for a long time.

If it’s painful or unpleasant you are doing it wrong. You will just feel exhausted and discouraged.

Also, no food or energy drinks during exercise. Drink water.
