I cycle 3-4 times a week. St. Petersburg has a great trail system, large parks and nature preserves, beautiful scenery and bike lanes on many roads. As for weight resistance training, I have a separate room in my home with a weight bench and a pair of adjustable dumbbells. I use these three times per week, taking a week off every 6 weeks.
For my social anxiety (and access to heavier weights), I would like to take advantage of my Silver Sneakers benefit to join LA Fitness near me next year.

Exercise can be really beneficial for people living with HIV. It can help with:
- Energy levels — reducing fatigue, which is a common concern
- Mental health — helping with mood and reducing stress
- Immune support — regular moderate exercise may support overall immune health
- Body composition — helping manage changes that can sometimes come with HIV treatment
Whether it's a gym, a pool, a yoga studio, or even a walking trail, finding something enjoyable makes it so much easier to stick with it. The best fitness facility is honestly the one you'll actually show up to! 😄
It's always a good idea to check in with your HIV care provider before starting a new fitness routine, especially if you're adjusting to a new medication or managing any side effects.
