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’m like OP. I’ve been going to gym for more than 10 years, on and off. And I never once experienced endorphine rush or dopamine reward or anything like that.

I don’t like going to the gym, but I have to. I want to live healthier and longer, and that’s my only drive/motivation for that.

OP is probably never going to get that, but that’s perfectly fine. A lot of things in life never bring me happiness but I keep doing it anyway because it’s a duty. We can get our happiness from many other things.
