I'm going to be completely honest right now and tell you that I love Richard Simmons. I love HIM, his enthusiasm, his total attitude and commitment to WHO HE IS AND WHAT HE IS ABOUT. I love that he wants to help people and HE CARES A LOT. I love that he gets it. You just have to listen to him to know THAT HE GETS IT. Oh my sweet baby condor, I love his outfits.
I love them. The tank tops. The leggings. I love it all.
So I have to share this because more than anything in the world, I want to be the person dancing next to him trying to make him smile/boogie down.
Enjoy. But know that in my heart, it hurts me to watch this because I am not the person in red shorts.
Thank you Buzzfeed, for another incredible piece of brilliance.

I thought I was the ONLY one! I adore Richard Simmons. I am that person who bought Sweat Into The Oldies on DVD. Yes, it exists and it's awesome. It's the absolute only workout I enjoy...that is until eating cookies becomes an olympic sport. Can I be the back up dancer when you get invited to dance with Richard? Bet you could get him to move. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the best thing that has happened to me all day.
ReplyDeleteI love his enthusiasm. I love that someone can be that enthusiastic unapologetically. I wish I could be more like that myself.
ReplyDeleteI hope that someday you are that person in red shorts!
You could do so much better than red shorts guy. He was barely even trying.
ReplyDeleteYes! My sister and I have been following him on Instagram. Our daily texts are "Richard!!!!!!"
ReplyDeleteWhen he finds out you're his # 1 fan, he will SURELY let you do this! YOU CAN DO IT LYDIA!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing so hard right now, I may have peed myself.
ReplyDeletethat was awesome! I so wanted him to break down and start grooving!!
ReplyDeletegawd. I laughed so hard watching this. thank you. I needed that.
ReplyDeleteI was once on a flight with him and about forty firemen... it was hilariously funny! Great guy!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I want to be red shorts person! I bet my preggo belly could get his butt moving! I've seriously been thinking about getting some of his videos for a prenatal workout. Are they hard? I mean I've never actually seen one.
ReplyDeleteI recommend listening to the Sklarboro Country podcast where the Sklar brothers interview Richard Simmons. Some amazing stories about him being on a soap opera, him running his fitness studio, and others. Inspirational, funny, and moving.
