Simona Halep shared this today on her Instagram, showing she is staying in good shape for if/when she is able to play hopefully.
Positive outcome likely for Halep on appearing in US Open Entry List as WTA Rules don't allow suspended players to enter

Romania’s Simona Halep is likely to get a positive result regarding her chances of playing in the US Open.
The former world number one is currently sidelined after her doping test came back positive.
Halep’s trial is underway but a few days back, surprisingly, she appeared on the list of players who are likely to take part in the US Open.
While that development surprised a few but it seems that her participation will be according to the rulebook.
As per the WTA rules, a player cannot signup for a tournament taking place during his or her suspension. However, since the trial is underway and the verdict has not been delivered yet, she is well within the laws to be available to take part in the final Grand Slam of the year.
The 31-year-old tested positive for Roxadustat last year after which she has not taken part in any on-court activities.
Halep has an impressive record while playing in tha major tennis tournaments, having won two Grand Slam titles in her career.
Her first triumph came in 2018 when she lifted the French Open after beating America’s Sloane Stephens in the final with a score of 3–6, 6–4, 6–1.
Halep’s second triumph came a year later in London where she defeated America’s Serena Williams in the final in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-2 to lift the Wimbledon title.
Other than that, Halep has also played in the final of the Australian Open in 2018 where she lost to Denmark’s Caroline Wozniacki with a score of 7–6(7–2), 3–6, 6–4.
US Open remains the only competition where she is yet to play in the final. Her best outing was in 2015 where she was knocked out in the semis after losing to Italy’s Flavia Pennetta in straight sets with a score of 6-1, 6-3.
