@cmbtfitness: Ever noticed how a lift or a workout can totally change your mood for the better? It's not a coincidence, and it's not just you. Here's why - here's the actual science behind it. The first are endorphins. They're your body's natural painkillers. They reduce discomfort and bring on that calm, satisfied feeling after you push yourself. That's part of why a hard session can leave you relaxed & satisfied instead of drained. Then there's dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. These control your motivation, focus, and energy. They also help reduce stress and improve your confidence. That's why finishing a lift or hitting a new goal feels so good. It's your brain rewarding you for doing something hard. You can also get endocannabinoids. They act on the same receptors as THC and give you that clear, calm feeling after a tough session. That's what people mean when they talk about a "runner's high." Exercise also lowers cortisol, which is your main stress hormone. At the same time, it increases BDNF, a protein that helps your brain grow new connections. That means training doesn't just make your body stronger. It helps your brain work better and handle stress more effectively. So yeah, lifting weights changes your mood because it changes your brain. It boosts the chemistry that keeps you focused, calm, and confident. You're not just building muscle. You're building a brain that's harder to break. #combatfitness #dohardthings
