Believe it or otherwise, a short meeting with Richard Simmons made my day. I know, right?

I was resting on my sofa, surfing E! Information and also waiting for Sex and the City reruns to begin. I confess a long-lasting addiction to SATC … anywho … As I absent-mindedly consumed my sandwich and also zoned in a post-workout haze, my ears and eyes cheered up when they began to discuss fitness. They then panned over to a segment with Richard Simmons.

Bedazzled in an Old Navy Periwinkle storage tank and crystals, he was nuts customarily, and also I started to inwardly moan. Yes, he is simply a little bit excessive for me. I sustain his love of physical fitness and just how he gets thrilled, however those shorts should be lengthened!!!

… And afterwards the press reporter asked him just how he has been effective in health and fitness for as long, when many others have actually fallen short. He claimed, point space:

‘ I never ever lied. I have actually never claimed that it would be simple or quick … I want people to obtain up and also enjoy it (workout), feel accomplished, and feel like they desire to do it once more.’

I was quickly embarking on the sofa and also yelling ‘yee … hah!’ (in my head). I can’t tell you how much I detest those terrible cases that I hear, such as, ‘6 weeks to a six pack’ or ’30 lbs gone in a month!’ Even if you cannot stand his crazy hair as well as glitter, at the very least understand that Simmons is authentic and also honest. Exactly how revitalizing, in an industry loaded with airbrushed abdominal muscles and fake results?

The fact regarding healthy living is that it is difficult to get fit as well as shed weight. It takes dedication each and every day. It takes persistence and vision. It is not a 6 week class. It is a long-lasting trip, with bumps along the way. There are no shortcuts and no person could swing a magic stick to make it easier.

He might have a made look, however he is real inside.
