Getting Rid of Jet Lag with Fitness

After an amazing couple of weeks in the US, we are now back on China soil.

Even though I am the traveler that feels every bit of jet lag (think waking up at 2AM), I was excited to get back into the swing of things here in Shenzhen.

Friday morning, I joined the SWIC Hiking Group for a 7K walking tour of Futian, one of the seven districts that make up the city of Shenzhen.

25 women from 10 countries!

We explored Shuiwei village and Stone Museum.


We walked through Huanggang Park and watched the locals dancing. I even got asked to dance!


We strolled the Furong Greenway and toured the Xia Sha Museum and Temple.




After all that walking and the China humidity, I took a nice long afternoon nap!

I was out of bed early on Saturday and decided that a short run might help get rid of the final feelings  of jet lag. mrC walked the boardwalk while I ran two laps.


After a little breakfast, we went for a refreshing swim. It felt really good to stretch out in the water and relax poolside.


Two full days of fitness and I was toast! Goodbye jet lag!

How do you beat jet lag?
