Unidentified Speaker — WHY Exercise is so Underrated (Brain Power & Movement Link) [DsVzKCk066g]

Evidence Quote

But you don't have to go the pharmacy to get your reward center going. Studies show that exercise boosts motivation by increasing dopamine storage and triggering the creation of dopamine receptors in the reward center. Exercise won't have you staying up all night in a studying frenzy like adderall, but it will give you more willpower and focus to do those little things that don't usually feel rewarding.
