Many of us around the country are now working from home and practicing social distancing. That means we are not working out in the gym, taking classes at a yoga studio or hiking on crowded trails. But necessity is the mother of invention. So we want to hear how you’re staying active at home. Have you set up a home gym? Are you spending more time in your garden? Perhaps meditating more and practicing mindfulness to nourish your mind, body and soul?

Homeowners and pros: Please share your home workout routines, latest gardening projects and all the other ways you’re staying active at home during these uncertain times.

Staying active is a great way to reduce stress and increase endorphins. What are you doing to stay fit? Have you turned an underused bedroom or attic into a home gym or soothing new yoga space? Take a photo, upload it to the Comments and tell us about it.

Taking in some fresh air and getting your hands dirty in soil is another way to keep your spirits high. Are you planting a vegetable garden in your backyard or making a lovely container garden for your balcony?

Hi there, We have been walking each day, baking and I've made some masks for the neighbors and us as a preventative measure. I've also with the help of my husband made a new garden with some cuttings given to me and enjoying our time at home to do things which normally working 6 days a week at my own business I don't have time to do. To come more sewing, painting the bathroom and a bit of wall papering, and there is scrap booking and puzzles as well to do. Just keeping busy... and working from home. Stay safe be careful out there
