Hey Folks...

You want motivation? Try spending 15 minutes with Richard Simmons...holy crap! Ha ha!

The radio station I work for had him in the building on Friday morning for a chat... click here for the audio of the interview:

and here for a quick recap and some photos:

Now, keep in mind, we are a rock radio station so our morning show guys gave him a bit of a hard time (think David Letterman style) but he took it in stride and had fun with it!

:flowerforyou: I can take him in small doses, but love him for some reason. He is so upbeat and has helped so many ppl. He also has learned to take the bad press or making fun of him comments in stride and use them for his good!

Well seeing I use his cardio workouts (when I actually do exercise) I wouldn't mind meeting him. So far his workouts have the most personality and fun in them. If exercise can't be fun, why do it. I'm jealous:grumble: :grumble: but I'm happy you got to see him:flowerforyou:

I LOVE Richard Simmons and still use his videos. To me they are the easiest to follow, the music is good and the people seem real, not stick figures on there just to look pretty!

I would love to meet him!

He actually points that out in the interview...he was the first person to use overweight people in his workout videos - he wanted the viewer/user to be able to relate to the people in the video, rather than it being a bunch of skinny stick people who're there just to pretty up the video

That's exactly how he was here! Ha ha! Our radio studios are inside West Edmonton Mall and at one point he was yelling at the Mall Walkers, giving hugs to random people, singing songs...it was hilarious!
