It’s no secret that this year hasn’t gone as planned for anyone. No matter how well you planned your goals when this year started, there’s no way that you could have foreseen the events of 2020. If 2020 has you feeling a bit defeated and off your game, you’re not alone. However, there are some concrete steps you can take now to still finish the last quarter of 2020 strong. Here are some actionable ideas:

Prioritize the Workouts That Help You Bust Your Stress 

If you’ve been majorly overwhelmed by stress and anxiety this year, your fitness routine may need to be a significant source of self-care for you. Think about the types of workout activities that leave you feeling the most peaceful afterward. Once you know the activity that helps you battle stress most effectively, make plans to head to one of the gyms in Irvine and fit in that workout. Maybe a solid session on a rowing machine leaves you feeling cool and calm afterward. Perhaps it’s a great cycling workout. Whatever helps you the most, give that workout activity first priority during this tough time.

Head for the Next Level 

Maybe you don’t have time to completely overhaul your fitness routine before this year is over, but you can implement some smaller changes and still have time for them to stick. Pick one area in which you’d like to improve and pick a next step that you could take in that area. If you’d like to be able to build lean muscle, try signing up for a bootcamp in Irvine. You’ll be able to work on your strength and gain ideas from the instructor to further your fitness. These small steps can help you end the year well.
