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?
In: Biology
Dopamine. When you eat, that releases dopamine. When you drink alcohol or smoke weed or consume nicotine, that releases Dopamine. Dopamine is known as the “Feel Good” chemical. Without proper dopamine creation in the brain, people end up severely depressed and cannot find happiness in life. That’s why abusing drugs and alcohol causes people’s brain chemistry to change. They can no longer produce dopamine correctly without the chemical substances they consume.

When you exercise, it’s no different. Exercise released Dopamine and other chemicals that help regulate happiness, sleep, etc. So that’s what people are mostly talking about.
Also, you’re clearly hurting yourself and over extending yourself. You should never feel like “Overcooked spaghetti,” if you do that means you’re not exercising smart.
