RICHARD SIMMONS: FITNESS ICON
I bet many of you are looking at this picture with your eyes rolled and a little chuckle. For those of you that do not know who this man is, well I think you should! Not only is Richard Simmons hysterical and unique, but he has taken the world of fitness and transformed it with his trademark humor.
On Sunday, October 2nd, Richard finally started his 3 hour talk show airing exclusively on SIRIUS. Running from 3p.m. to 6p.m., he helps many with advice, nutrition and work out plans as well as real life changes that many have overcome due to his successful eating programs and exercise techniques. The times when he is not preparing for the show, he teaches at his fitness facility, SLIMMONS, located in Beverly Hills which has been around for 31 years. Looking at his various programs, it's great to see how he designs programs for beginners as well as individuals who have advanced experience.
One particular excercise program he has designed that caught my eye when I watched it is called, Sit Tight which is designed for people who are unable to stand. I think no matter what condition anyone has, Richard has a positive solution for.
Oh! On a final note, CHECK THIS OUT! After watching an episode of The David Letterman Show (which I vow never to watch again), one of Richard's newer products, the Steamer, was introduced to David. It was hilarious, not with what David was saying with his boring-trying to be funny tone, but the comments Richard makes.
He's not someone to poke fun at. He helps people AND makes GOOD money for it.
Who's laughing now?
Until next blog,
Christina

haha Richards Simmons is a funny guy. My friend once changed my desktop background to a picture of just his head! ind freaky, but I loved his big curly hair too
Okay, I have to admit that I was one of those people who chuckled when I first saw the picture. I really wonder if he purposely cultivates his wacky image. It certainly has got him noticed over the years amid all of the health gurus out there.
