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.

More quotes by Richard Simmons
I just love what I do, and I'm a teacher more than anything.
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
Comedy, not screaming at someone, can make someone lift their legs higher. There is a way to do a push-up and a sit-up, and it doesn't have to be so complicated. Everyone is putting a difficult twist to it and making you do way too much.
Richard Simmons
I don't know about you, but every time some joker points me out as I walk through an airport wearing extra-small Dolfin shorts, a tank top and leg warmers, I get a little upset.
Richard Simmons
When we're binging, we do not think about death. We just think about how good it tastes.
Richard Simmons
I sort of think of myself as part priest, part clown.
Richard Simmons
How do you get motivated? By knowing your worth. Americans do not know how worthy they are. You deserve to be healthy, but a lot of times, people have, as childs been told - as a children been told that they're no good, that they're never going to be anything else.
Richard Simmons
I never say anything negative about anyone, because that won't get you anywhere.
Richard Simmons
Right now many schools have no recess. Most schools have no PE.
Richard Simmons
I might as well be gay. And not just because I love rhinestones and Barbara Streisand. But because Im a sensitive person who is supportive of gay people the same way Im sensitive to grossly obese people and ugly people.
Richard Simmons
For my workout, I'm up at 4am. I say my prayers, count my blessings, and I work out right away. I just get it done. One day I'll tone - chest, back and shoulders - and the next day it's biceps and triceps. I also do 45 minutes of cardio every day. I do that before I even leave the house.
Richard Simmons
I start phone calls at 4 A.M. to cheer people up. The housebound, people in the hospital. People who, after decades, still can't get over what happened 10 or 15 years ago.
Richard Simmons
Ninety percent of people who lose weight gain it back. It's very sad.
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
My life is just a never-ending work in progress.
Richard Simmons
Everything I did with my life I did so that I could give my parents everything they didn't have because of me.
Richard Simmons
Count your blessings. You are one of a kind. There's no one in the world like you. You are amazing.
Richard Simmons
Singing is good for the soul. It's the first thing I do every morning, after my blessings and my grace. I put music on and I sing.
Richard Simmons
My parents always told me to be myself. I was always funny and silly as a kid. And I would always make them laugh. And they always told me to dream big and follow those dreams.
Richard Simmons
I could be hit by a Sara Lee truck tomorrow. Which is not a bad way of going: 'Richard Simmons Found in a Freeway in Pound Cake and Fudge, With a Smile on His Face.' Let's face it. We don't know anything.
