I couldn't just magically turn my worrying off. If that was the case I would've did so long ago. If the gym is not your thing consider walking or bike riding. Good luck

I have actually tried an approach that is simpler, but along the same lines.
I had a period of triggerless anxiety last year, out of nothing. It later disappeared. I am not generally an anxious person, but from time to time, infrequently, I get those periods. Within those periods, I am basically GAD, but because they are so infrequent, I am not GAD.
So I tried walking on the treadmill VERSUS taking Klonopin, and walking on the treadmill both lowered the anxiety better and had a longer lasting result.
This, with simple garden variety un-fancy steady state cardio. With interval training, the results should be better.
