A top idea for losing weight or feeling that “high” from getting a good workout is as easy as going for a run/jog. By getting your heart rate elevated for 15 minutes your brain releases endorphins (feel-good chemicals) that can help to elevate your mood, decrease depression and anxiety, and it can even lower your resting heart rate.
