More quotes by Richard Simmons
Most workouts are way too aggressive. Thousands of lunges wear out the body. It's not healthy for the one with the bad back, bad knees, diabetes. I'm never going to do that.
Richard Simmons
I'm like a stuffed toy. You've never met me, but if you did, you'd just want to take me home and put me in your child's room.
Richard Simmons
I don't have a lot to offer one person. I have a lot to offer to a lot of people.
Richard Simmons
I just love what I do, and I'm a teacher more than anything.
Richard Simmons
Ninety percent of people who lose weight gain it back. It's very sad.
Richard Simmons
My persona has always been what a man was never supposed to be. Outrageous, gregarious, crazy, silly, funny.
Richard Simmons
I've been offered big money to promote machines. And high-protein diets, when that was really popular. There was always some new powder or diet plan that somebody wanted to put my name on.
Richard Simmons
When you gain weight, for every pound that you gain, it adds four pounds of stress on your knees. So if you gain five pounds, you've got 20 pounds of stress on your knees. So that's why I'm extremely careful with my portions and my workout, because I can't be overweight.
Richard Simmons
I've never lived in the visual world. I live very much in an emotional-contact world.
Richard Simmons
Well mine is not gimmicky - it is the 6 food groups that God made, and exercising every day. Trying to think positively.
Richard Simmons
I never say anything negative about anyone, because that won't get you anywhere.
Richard Simmons
For my workout, I'm up at 4 A.M. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done.
Richard Simmons
Right now many schools have no recess. Most schools have no PE.
Richard Simmons
I was born with a crippled leg. I wore a corrective shoes since I was three years old and I still wear them.
Richard Simmons
For many years, my formula has been to love yourself, move your body and to watch portion size. But the No. 1 thing is to love and value yourself, no matter what you've been through.
Richard Simmons
I've never swayed from who I am. People have seen me on television, and they know what I'm like and they know what I do and they respect me for what I do. They know that I'm huggy and kissy.
Richard Simmons
I don't have to teach anymore, I don't have to work anymore, God has been really good to me.
Richard Simmons
I think at the age of 50, everyone should write their own autobiography.
Richard Simmons
We overweight people, we say terrible things to ourselves. Oh, you wouldn't believe it. 'You fat pig. How can you do this? You're a disgusting jerk.' And that gets you nowhere. That gets you right back into a bowl of pasta fregula.
Richard Simmons
That's what the majority of people in the world do, they walk among the ruins of their life. Things that didn't work out, relationships that went sour, jobs that disappeared. All they can think about is their ruins, and when you focus on that you can't build a new you.
