That will be the endorphins nor the adrenaline see:

Now that at least makes sense...

Oh, well, I'm not especially worried about becoming addicted to 
exercise. ;-)

The benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

I've only been to the gym once since October....and I think I need to 
start going again.

Thing is, I actually can get a membership rate that's lower through my 
insurance company, but I have to cancel my current membership, and 
everything I've read says that doing so requires an act of $DEITY and has 
all sorts of conditions tied to it.

One of those may well be (and it isn't clear) that I can't come in as a 
new member again, which is one of the caveats of getting the membership 
through in insurance company.  <sigh>

I'm still loving the fact that yesterday I dragged myself out of bed at 
10 o'clock in the morning and I felt exhausted having done nearly 
nothing all Saturday. And yet, last Saturday I spent hours working my 
arse off on a dance floor and ended up with so much surplus energy that 
I actually couldn't stand still.

So there we have it. Working gives you energy, resting makes you tired. 
GO FIGURE!

Is there another gym you can go to?
I suppose you've thought of that so please disregard.

I asked the local gym, but they want £52 *per month* just to give me the 
_option_ of going to the gym. Then when I actually go there's another 
fee on top of that.

Bugger that. I'll stick to my dancing; it's probably just as good a 
workout, it's far more fun and it's drastically cheaper. :-P
