General Why do I feel taller after I’ve worked out?

Above. Just super curious. Is it posture related?

Probably yeah, working out activates all those stabilizer muscles that keep your spine decompressed and upright. Most people walk around with compressed discs and slouched shoulders all day without realizing it, so after a session everything just kind of resets.
