2. Short-Term Aftermath (Right After Exercise)
After your workout, your brain rides a “neurochemical high”:
- Mental clarity improves: Dopamine sharpens focus and helps you think more clearly.
- Mood lift: Endorphins and serotonin create that “runner’s high” — a calm, happy, grounded feeling.
- Better stress resilience: Your nervous system recalibrates, making it easier to handle daily stress.
You often leave the gym or walk feeling lighter and more positive, and that’s literally your brain chemistry resetting.
