Like a lot of people, I spent the first few weeks of lockdown trying to keep a strict exercise routine. I signed up to apps, used water bottles for weights, and went on at LEAST three whole runs before I gave up on the entire thing. Fuck it, I thought. We’re in lockdown.

ondon’s retail and gym bosses have called on the Government for urgent help as businesses face the prospect of long periods shuttered under Tier 4 restrictions.
The new strictest restrictions - which require all non-essential retail and indoor gyms to close - were implemented in London and the South East at the busiest time of the year for retail, and ahead of gyms’ traditional January boom in sign-ups.
New West End Company boss Jace Tyrell on Monday called for a freeze on all business taxes in Tier 4, warning that London’s shopping centre will see a £2 billion drop in sales this Christmas, and is “highly likely” to see an 80% year-on-year drop in sales by March.
Coronavirus restrictions are to be tightened for millions of people across the Greater Sydney region as the Northern Beaches cluster grows.
New public health orders were announced by NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian this morning as 30 COVID-19 cases were recorded, 28 of which have been linked the Avalon cluster.
Which restrictions are changing?
The number of visitors allowed into homes will be limited to 10.
While there was no evidence of the virus seeding in other parts of Sydney yet, the precaution was needed because of the higher risk that came with socialising indoors, the premier said.
The city will also revert back to the four square metre rule in all indoor settings, apart from the family home. There will be no dancing, apart from wedding bridal parties of up to 20.
