These fibers circulate the oxygen you take in, and with every breath, burn off blood glucose and the glycogen stored in your liver. You’re not breathing hard, but if you walk briskly for 20 minutes or more, you’ll begin to run out of glucose. To replace that blood glucose, your body taps into your fat stores. Now imagine you hear a crashing noise behind you—it’s an enormous brown bear, out for blood. Suddenly you’re sprinting, and even though you’re fighting for as much air as you can get, it’s primarily stored sugar that’s propelling you. Your muscles are on fire as you burn glycogen like mad! Suddenly, the bear gets distracted by a school of leaping salmon, and you collapse safely in a heap. Your muscles probably feel like Jell-O, because you’ve burned all the sugar out of them. If you start thinking about burning sugar when you exercise, and not about burning calories, you’ll see why short, high-energy bursts of exercise make more sense—you burn off the stored sugar in your muscles, causing your body to melt down fat in order to replace the missing glycogen. The secret to cracking this seemingly impossible barrier: Exercise enough, but not too much. And here’s how it’ll happen: For six days a week, alternate between full-body toning and strengthening workouts (for 15 to 30 minutes) and cardio interval workouts (only 10 to 30 minutes). The former adds the muscle mass you need to burn more calories and includes three sets of eight to 12 repetitions of pushups, dumbbell squats, and other exercises. The latter mixes short bursts of high-intensity activity with less intensity “recovery” periods, a routine that studies have shown targets belly fat. Every day, do this simple and flexible one-minute-in-the-morning energizer. This workout works with whatever energy levels you’re dealing with, getting you in the groove to move more throughout the day.

Laura was worried all the time and she didn’t know why. Her job was going great, she had a good relationship with her boyfriend, and had a close circle of friends. Still, she was always restless and watchful, and a feeling of dread followed her everywhere she went. Driving on the highway was the worst of all. One evening she was driving home when she was startled by a police car turning on its lights and sirens behind her. Her heart raced, her palms were sweaty, and the steering wheel was hard to hold on to. She was sure she was going to die. But she put on her hazard lights and managed to pull onto the shoulder as the police car passed her by. She had a full-blown panic attack right there—and vowed never to drive on the highway again. Her mother told her to try talking to a therapist. After a few sessions, the therapist got Laura to remember the first time she had anxiety—it happened while driving home from a friend’s funeral. “Everything in my life is going fine,” Laura said. “Why would I start remembering this now?” “That’s exactly why,” the therapist said. “You’re in a safe position in life, so unresolved feelings start to bubble up. It’s like our bodies know we can now handle facing them. But we feel attacked, anxious, or in danger, even though we are actually safe and sound.” Perplexed but encouraged, Laura started going to therapy twice a week and got a prescription for anti-anxiety medication. She was determined to get to the bottom of her mysterious anxiety that seemed to come and go without cause.
