The popularity of night jogging is now increasing rapidly in this city. In the past few years, if you asked some of your friends to run together with you, they might probably say that they were too busy at work. Jogging is usually related to morning exercises; it is not something people usually associate with night life. However, nowadays, instead of grouping others to work out early in the morning before work, people prefer to jog at night after a whole day’s work.

Many people are now working in the gaming industry in Macao, and do not have a stable and regular working shift as normal office workers. Sometimes, it is very hard for them to do exercise in the morning or even hang out with friends. That may be one of the reasons why night jogging suddenly becomes so popular in Macao.

“After a whole day’s work, it is so relaxing to jog with friends at night; you can chat with each other while you are still exercising. It is really great!” said Bowie Ao Ieong, an employee in a casino. Sometimes, people come out at night not because they want to exercise, what they really enjoy is the time that all the friends are getting together to do something and chat with each other. “Girls are not actually so fond of doing exercise, their main purpose to join us is to chat around and at the same time keep fit,” Ao Ieong laughed. “Jogging is not like a team sport, you can do it any time and in any place if you want. However, it is too boring if you always run alone, you may not want to keep it up. It is different if there is a group of people doing the same thing together, you may want to keep it up. It is amazing.”

In this stressful city, everyone is busy with his/her jobs, school work or any other tasks. People easily give up their time in maintaining their health and social life. Instead of just having a dinner or go for a drink with friends after work, night jogging will be a nice activity for you. Let’s move!
