Why Are Endorphins From Exercising So Random?

Sometimes I feel the difference, but sometimes I don’t

Lifting weights offers a countless number of benefits.

If you’ve never tried it, I highly recommend it. Even following a few simple exercise routines can make a big impact on your life.

Excerising doesn’t only help you get stronger but it also improves your well-being. The rush of endorphorins after a workout is one of the many reasons why people keep going back to the gym.

Unfortunately, achieving this endorphin high isn’t always easy, or maybe I’m doing something wrong.

What Are Endorphins?

Endorphins are chemicals released in your brain after a hard workout.

If you feel calmer and have a sense of peace after exercising, it’s probably the endorphins.

These chemicals can kick in 30 minutes after exercising, but it can also happen at other times. It’s also possible to not experience any noticeable mood change.

My Workout History

I started working out more seriously in 2019, and it helped me drop 45 pounds in roughly seven months.

I didn’t add on much muscle because I was always eating in a deficit but I did notice that I often felt much better after working out. I stopped working out as much during 2020 due to the pandemic, and I didn’t return to the gym until 2021.

I’ve had a few breaks, but I’ve mostly been consistent with working out 3–4 times a week for the past three years.

Why Do Endorphins From Exercising Seem Random?

Not all exercises are equal when it comes to experiencing endorphins, or at least that’s been my experience.

I often feel much better after an upper body workout, but I don’t notice much of a difference at all after a leg workout.

All of these workouts include four different exercises at three sets of ten. Usually, it takes around 30 minutes to finish a workout.

Anyway, my whole point for this article is to see if others have gone through this same experience. Should I work out longer? Add more weights and fewer reps?

I’m always open to suggestions.
