I get workout euphoria from the group fitness classes at the boxing gym.

How do you get that feeling from a workout?

I get workout euphoria/runners high about 10-15 minutes into anything that gets my heart rate up significantly. It makes cardio very addictive, but means I have trouble with low intensity work and strength training. Also.. the high is sometimes followed by a low about 15-30 minutes after exercising, although sometimes that is related to refuelling or simple fatigue.

I get a mild low about 2 hours afterward but it's worth it to me 100%. The low doesn't last very long.
