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
Puberty for me was graduating from Thousand Island salad dressing to Caesar salads. It was like going from hot dogs and hamburgers to beef stroganoff, or from ice cream in a cone to creme brulee.
Richard Simmons
Ninety percent of people who lose weight gain it back. It's very sad.
Richard Simmons
People need the court jester, so I keep that smile on and keep going out there to do what I do.
Richard Simmons
Being successful is something that's sometimes hard to deal with.
Richard Simmons
If you want to get the body you've always dreamed of, you have to earn it. You can't buy it, you can't rent it. You have to earn it. My formula has always been love yourself, move your body, watch your portions. And it sounds so easy, but it is not.
Richard Simmons
I have rules about eating, exercising and rules about staying positive. And these rules are sacred to me.
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
Everyone's under pressure and you just have to learn how to deal with it. And I deal with it through prayer and staying busy.
Richard Simmons
This is my theater. This is where I can sing and act out a play and do sit-ups at the same time
Richard Simmons
Everyone has a story that makes me stronger. I know that the work I do is important and I enjoy it, but it is nice to hear the feedback of what we do to inspire others.
Richard Simmons
I plan for the future, but the only day I really worry about is the day I'm living right now.
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
Number one, like yourself. Number two, you have to eat healthy. And number three, you've got to squeeze your buns. That's my formula.
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
Every day after school, for three hours a day, I would sell those pralines on the street corner. I was just eight years old. I'd bring the money home to my parents and say, This is just the beginning.
Richard Simmons
My life is just a never-ending work in progress.
Richard Simmons
I've always practiced this: Love yourself. Move your body. Watch your portions.
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
I took desperate measures to lose weight and did terrible things to myself. I went from diet pills to thirty laxatives a day to throwing up.
