43-year HIV/AIDS survivor Bob Bowers exercising at Planet Fitness in Houston Texas wearing a soldier for Jesus shirt.

It took one foot in front of the other in 2020—and many times throughout these 43 years—to overcome the 'death sentence' and find my way back to the gym or even a walk around the block.

​Do what you can, when you can. You got this. 💯👊

Dance when you’re broken open. Dance when you’ve torn the bandage off. 💔🌪️

I'm relatively fortunate in that respect. Very rarely in pain. Mind you, I put a lot of work into #MovementIsMedicine which works for my diseases, BUT well aware not applicable to all diseases.
