"Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands," Elle says confidently.

And there it is spoken from Elle, truth bomb. So why do we spend so much time making excuses and not making the time to tap into this free drug?! Because we live in a quick fast paced amazon prime world where as soon as we click the loose weight button, we expect it to arrive tomorrow. Another truth bomb, that will never happen. Endorphins are released through vigorous exercise. With consistent vigorous exercise and that natural release of endorphins, there could be a potential of aiding in the treatment of anxiety and depression. I’ve been training clients for 10 years, I have watched many people pull and stay out of depression and anxiety when their exercise routine became and stayed consistent. That in and of itself should be the main reason one chooses to move their bodies, to feel and be HAPPY. After all, isn’t that what we all want to reach, pure happiness.

We all have time to move, its a matter of YOU making the time.

Wikipedia definition of endorphin.

Endorphins (contracted from "endogenous morphine"[note 1]) are endogenous opioid neuropeptides and peptide hormones in humans and other animals. They are produced by the central nervous system and the pituitary gland. The term "endorphins" implies a pharmacological activity (analogous to the activity of the corticosteroid category of biochemicals) as opposed to a specific chemical formulation. It consists of two parts: endo- and -orphin; these are short forms of the words endogenous and morphine, intended to mean "a morphine-like substance originating from within the body".[3] The class of endorphins includes three compounds—α-endorphin (alpha endorphins), β-endorphin (beta endorphins), and γ-endorphin (gamma endorphins)—which preferentially bind to μ-opioid receptors.[4] The principal function of endorphins is to inhibit the communication of pain signals; they may also produce a feeling of euphoriavery similar to that produced by other opioids.[5]

Endorphins play a major role in the body's response to inhibiting pain but endorphins have also been looked at for their role in pleasure. There has been a lot of research in the euphoric state that is produced after the release of endorphins in cases such as runner's high, orgasms, and eating appetizing food.[15][20]Endorphins have also been looked into as a way to aid in the treatment of anxiety and depression through exercising.[21]

On the other hand, endorphins may also be involved in exercise addiction. The release of endorphins a person gets while exercising will produce a feeling of euphoria.
