    I love Richard Simmons videos! I used them last summer to lose 50 pounds. One of the workouts I looked forward to!

    I love that man! When i was younger, my grandmother owned all his workouts, and I did it with her for support. and, darn it, they were fun!
    It's awesome that he has all body shapes and sizes dancing with him, and at the most intense part of the workout, he always looks directly at the camera and says "Don't quit" or something along those lines.
    You have done a fantastic job! Kudos to you! :wink:

    My Mom used to have his tapes too! I had them until I donated our VCR last year.

    I love him! Anyways his tapes are the only exercise I have done along with watching calories! So far have lost an amazing 112pds!! Anyone else doing his tapes?? If not you are missing out on a fun work out!!

    I'd never heard of him till the other day (I don't think he made it to the UK) I saw this program about him what an amazing Guy he may not be everyone's cup of tea but he sure knows how to motivate people.

    I love Richard Simmons, I still have the routine to "breaking up is hard to do" and "everyone knows it's wendy" memorized. I love him. I had the Take a Walk tape for a long time until it broke - yes an old cassette tape. They don't make it anymore, it was great. I wish he knew how much he has influenced my life since I was a little girl. He is love personified, at least in my mind.

    I love the guy! Thanks for the reminder- I dug out the DVD's that I have- Sweating 5, Disco Sweat, Party Off the Pounds and Boogie Down the Pounds. I bought them a while ago and forgot about them.
    I danced to the oldies probably 25 years ago! Time to get dancing again!

    Congrats! You're doing fantastic.

    I had one of his "Sweatin" tapes I used for years. I bought a lot of other exercise videos through the years, but none got as much use as that tape. I tried Zumba thinking I would love it and while it was fun, I ended up hurt in short order. I picked up an anniversary "Sweatin' to the Oldies" set of DVDs for like $15 off of a Best Buy daily deal a couple weeks ago to do with the kids. I'm so glad I did. They're still fun.

    Awesome work.

    My brief (well lack of briefs) Richard Simmons happened during Mardi Gras in like 1994 in New Orleans. He was on a parade float and then later we saw him again in the Quarter up on a Balcony. It was an iron one so you could see from below to whatever was above it. So we see him, he's dancing having a great time. Then we pop into the bar underneath the balcony and I happened to look up and I'm almost certain I saw Richard Simmons' balls poking out from under his short shorts.
