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?

Try running, thats the only time I have felt it. Around 20min mark at a good hard pace.

It feels like something cool/refreshing is being dumped on you but in your brain/nervous system you feel suddenly revigorated and near invincible.

Going to get a bit crude here and say its like when you pause during sex (soaking) and everything just feels good great amazing fantastic! I miss it, might have to get a treadmill now and change my underwear…
