Lies.

Ok. For the record - I dont believe in endorphins. I think the concept of endorphins is just some big scam conspiracy, especially when related to exercise.

I personally have never felt any sort of 'high' from exercising. In fact each time I try to run for 2 minutes on my treadmill, I can quite honestly say without a hint of hyperbole, that it is the worst and most painful 2 minutes of my life. (No I haven't had children yet - for all you post-natural-childbirth mums shaking their heads knowingly at me).


I HATE running. Why anyone would do it for fun is beyond me. If I wasn't chanting "wedding dress, wedding dress, wedding dress" with every forced stride, I wouldn't do it. I feel like my lungs are on fire, I sweat like no one I've ever seen before, I feel dizzy, and I feel like my legs are filled with wet sand.

I HATE IT.

I believe the only "rush" anyone gets from exercise is not "an exhilararing rush of endorphins", but a sheer rush of relief at having stopped exercising.
