I don't know if I would recognize an endorphin high if it bit me on the nose.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. I mean, maybe?

They, they talked a little about why they chose ferrets (they wanted a mammal that didn't have extended periods of exercise as a normal behavior) and how for the control period they wanted everyone walking instead of running but the ferrets wouldn't co-operate so they just rested. . It sounded pretty funny; I'd watch that documentary.

I don't get an endorphin high from regular maintenance exercise. I used to get them after swim meet events. I think for me it requires an exercise push well beyond the norm fueled by adrenaline.

I have never got it from exercising- I have from performing/doing quick changes/ other theatre events. I experience it so rarely now that I am mostly in the construction phase of theatre

I do feel very good after a hard swim, a little bit dazed, and hungry. But it's not really a high. And the hungry part is bad because I constantly have to argue myself off the bacon-egg-and-cheese-biscuit ledge. If I manage to avoid eating for twenty minutes my appetite returns to normal.

I think ferret life could be a good life.

And I am going back to sleep.

Martial arts--great endorphins producer. You don't even have to play Gonna Fly Now to kick it off. That feeling when your muscles are both loose and strong, and you can feel your whole body work to produce a punch to the right area--all the way from toes to fingers--exhilarating even when it's not a fight--I can get that with a punching bag. Press play on the Bas Rutten workout and just GO. And then the sweet sweet feeling of coming down from all of that --beyond compare of anything I can legally do in public, that's for sure.

I tend to think of endorphins after exercise as anything that makes me feel less sloggy. I really need to get back to doing the wii fit, both the running and the yoga would have me feeling much better in just 20 - 30 minutes.

My default feeling for the last few months seems to be "I could sleep." and that's not so helpful for the ever-present low-level depression.

I have gotten endorphin high from exercise, but only occasionally, and either from a really long hike or walk, or sometimes in yoga when I would feel "in the zone."

I do actually get a nice endorphin rush from working out moderately to strenuously. It usually hits me when I'm finished and walking out to the car, and I just feel sort of floaty. However, walking the dog isn't enough to produce an endorphin rush.

Best endorphin rush, though, was my tattoo. Definitely.
