Getting rush from exercise

mr_fegelien

Does anyone not get a rush from going for a walk or a jog? I walk once a day for 40 minutes but do it to maintain a slim weight, I've never felt good from it as some people claim to.

Am I missing something or perhaps not trying hard enough?

Muahahaha

You wont get it from a walk, even a brisk one. Try running or cycling and you'll get a massive whack of those lovely endorphins.

I think your missing a brain

That’ll only get you thrush!

Mister Vain

You need to go for a run to get that "runners high" or lift weights to get the "pump."

Bobblehats

Yes try lifting insanely heavy weights that’ll really blow your mind ..

I do think exercise is for some and not for others.
Some people simply do not like running and others can't accept this.

The OP is walking for 40 minutes. That doesn't give anyone a high.

It would give me more of a high than going on a run!

Only if you're lifting with bad form, bro!

Funny enough I don’t get a rush from running or cycling unless I go very hard and fast . Ive friends who love doing 80milers on the bike or very long runs . Much prefer the endorphin blast of a hard 5k -10k run . To me it’s not about distance it’s about speed
Walking the dogs briskly every day doesn’t do much although the dogs like it .

And some don't like exercise but do it anyway because it's good for them.

If you had a kid who refused to eat their vegetables, would you let them eat sweets instead? No, you'd tell them to eat their veg because it's good for them.

There's more ways to exercise than running.

When people say I don't exercise it's like saying I don't brush my teeth. Everyone should do something.

I need to run for upwards of 45 mins to get the 'high'. With sprinting it's easier.
Alternatively a good set each of bicep curls, pushups and lateral dumbbell raises really does the trick.

But diet determines how many if any you need to do of both. People went thousands of years without brushing and in many cases, lived to 60 and 70 years.

Sorry, I may have came across wrong here. It's good to exercise and lots of people do it and some love it and others don't.
I just know people do it and they dislike it and others can't accept this and they've tried many forms of it.

Average life expectancy even now in countries with **** food and healthcare is 50. Not 60/70.

Diet determines weight, exercise determines composition.

Rubbish - a good old 40 minute walk outdoors is good for body & soul.

And a lot easier on the joints than pounding the concrete.

That’s a good point.
I know people and they start of walking and some gym monkey tells them they are basically wasting there time going on there walk and it sort of disheartens them.

Can't bate a good wrestle with a Royal Gorilla to get you a nice high, OP.

Oh you'll feel better and more focused alright. I do a good 30 min power walk on work lunch breaks.
But the buzz comes with harder exercise when there's a strong pump of blood.

Edit. I run on grass.

So what your saying is that it takes you 40mins to walk 2k, because thats all your allowed to do under the present restrictions.
Ifs its that you that long to walk 2k. What kind of rush are you getting! Curious question are you human or are you a figment of your own imagination

You need to buy better green or take a tolerance break. Works for me all the time.

You could live without brushing your teeth, but you'd be a scruffy b*stard.

I'd imagine Feg has never lifted weights before.

But on a serious note, yeah, there certainly is a high you get after going for a run.

Even a walk is good for the mind.

Better than just sitting on the couch like some folk are doing all day these days.

Yes I get it but only when I do a good 6km walk while walking briskly. Love it!
