We all know we should exercise, and it's the #1 hack for long life, but it actually isn't "natural," according to an expert evolutionary biologist. So, what are some tricks to get going and stick with it? Try these science-backed tips that work with your own mood chemicals.

"Try different types of exercise until you find the one that you like, or at least, don’t hate! So mix it up, and make it social too. Both serotonin and oxytocin are released with exercise. Serotonin leads to a calm feeling and oxytocin facilitates social bonding"

TRANSCRIPT:
If you find it hard to exercise, or would love to get more of a mood boost from your exercise listen up to these 3 tips backed by science. Stay to the end, for a bonus favorite.
Consider this. “It’s normal not to find exercise rewarding”, Exercise expert Daniel Lieberman, an evolutionary biologist at Harvard says “There’s nothing wrong with you.” Though some people are genetically more apt to enjoy exercise (Andrew Huberman reminds listeners repeatedly that he loves exercising,um goody for him) we can all learn ways to actually make it more enjoyable.

So how to take advantage of our body’s mood chemicals?
First of all You will want to do moderate exercise, for at least 20 minutes but better for 30 minutes. Why? it takes 20 minutes for endocannabinoids to get triggered. These are your body’s own marijuana equivalent!! These are our most powerful exercise-related mood boosters. But don’t worry, you won’t get high as a kite, just that buzzy “all is right with the world feeling.” Endocannabinoids share a molecular structure with THC in marijuana. The first 20 to 30 min will feel like a slog until you get that little “hit” of your own marijuana, and then it will get better. So gut it to get the beneficial natural high.
You will need to keep your exercise routine up for 3 weeks. That’s how long it takes to get the dopamine system in your brain to kick in. Dopamine is our “reward” neurochemical that is released with accomplishment or positive feedback. Once that dopamine rush reliably kicks in, then the exercise becomes much easier to do and can even become addictive. It may take longer than 3 weeks, or shorter if you’re lucky, so be sure to keep going long enough for this “positive addiction” to get activated!
Try different types of exercise until you find the one that you like—or at least don’t hate! So mix it up and make it social, too. Exercise releases both serotonin and oxytocin. Serotonin leads to a calm feeling, and oxytocin facilitates social bonding.
My bonus fourth trick not covered in the New York Times article is music! As many runners or gym rats know, music can pump you up and also keep you going that extra mile or rep.It helps me so much with jogging and my floor exercises too. The science confirms that music evokes dopamine, our chemical reward system. So crank up the tunes and get going!
