Before there were aerobics and reality television, there was Richard Simmons.

Richard Simmons used his energetic and motivational demeanor to encourage people to lose weight. His high energy level was always featured in his workout videos, and his trademark attire was candy-striped Dolphin shorts and tank tops decorated with Swarovski crystals.  Richard Simmons hosted his own talk and fitness show, that earned him 4 Daytime Emmy Awards,  “The Richard Simmons Show,” from 1980 to 1984. 

We will be keeping the family friends and colleagues of Richard Simmons uplifted in our prayers.
