Hopefully this won't be a problem for me much longer, but I'm curious to know how you all keep fit in China, seeing as we practically can't do any sports in China.
Do you practice indoor sports regularly? Draconian diet? No drinking?
Or have you, like me, been helpless and gained a little weight?

I am in Shenzhen where the pollution is only half as bad, but I hear you.
I did nothing at first, packed on a few kgs then joined a gym.
If you don't like fitness centers, then I would buy a stationary bike for your apartment.
Or play basketball with the locals...indoors of course.
Everyone goes to the gym ! Membership is cheap but they're so overcrowded , in some places there's often a wait for machines ....
I do Tai Chi and practice kungfu and get into barfights (for the aerobic portion)whenever possible.
I put on about 40 kilos, but I only blame laziness. Just walk a lot, take public transportations, and try to resist the fact that there's food everywhere anytime.
