Tell us: how are you keeping active while it’s cold, wet and Covid numbers are surging?

It’s an Alanis Morissette-style irony that the times when we could most do with some feel-good endorphins are also the times they are hardest to come by.

As much of Australia faces icy or inclement weather, making runs muddy and outdoor equipment slippery, rising Covid case numbers might mean a visit to the gym is an equally unappealing prospect.

It’s a situation we’ve been in before, which means by now many of us have exhausted every video on Yoga with Adriene’s extensive YouTube library, done all the Zoom dance classes we can handle, or even sold off our home gym equipment.

Whether it’s pushing through the wet with bracing outdoor swims, picking up the pace of your household pottering or installing a set of peddles under your desk, we’d like to hear from Guardian Australia readers about how you’re keeping active in spite of clouds and Covid. The more eccentric, unique and ingenious your techniques, the better.
