There is a difference between ”exercise” and ”power lifting”.
Cardio is definitely good for you, even though it releases the same peptides. In cardio you progress by going longer.
Lifting is a different beast. In it you progress by increasing weights, because increasing reps does not gain muscle as fast. Each trip to the gym causes muscle damage, which also releases opioids, and it is completely possible to become dependent on that in the same manner that someone cutting themselves becomes dependent on the opioids released by cutting.
