Richard Simmons is awesome.
I think that first photo answers the question: Because he is AMAZING.
Also, he is really into exercising, but he doesn’t have a gym bod. I always thought La Simmons was inspiring because his body basically says, “fitness can look many different ways.” And I know you love how he flirts with David Letterman as well. :)
I always liked Richard Simmons, I have to say, even when we had to exercise to his videos in high school.
One of the things I like the most is that unlike most fitness guru types, there’s always a range of body types in his videos. I mean, I don’t like the premise – weight loss and all – but I love that there are honest-to-goodness fat people in them.
