Endorphins: β-endorphins can increase feelings of wellness, and provides you the exercise “high” that folks often experience after understanding.

Muscles: Caffeine may impact the motor area, which may be a part of the brain that signals muscle activation.

Body temperature: Caffeine has been shown to extend thermogenesis, or heat production, which helps you burn more calories.
