The correct answer is endorphins.

During strenuous exercise, the brain releases the neurotransmitter called endorphins. Endorphins are known as "feel good" chemicals that produce a feeling of euphoria, reduce anxiety and the ability to experience pain. Endorphins also produce a feeling of happiness and relaxation after an intense exercise session.
