Richard Simmons (1948-2024)

Well, the world of fitness has lost an icon today. And he just turned 76 yesterday, too.

I suspect that it was because of his skin cancer.

RIP

I honestly associate him the most with the episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway that he guest starred in. Seriously one of the funniest things I’ve seen in my life.

He'd had several guest voice roles including Rocko's Modern Life, KaBlam!, Disney's Hercules and Johnny Bravo.

My exposure of Richard Simmons came through his parodies, my favorite being The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy one, alongside several others. Unfortunate to see him pass, may his fitness legacy remain

Back when I was about 9, and everything in my life was all Disney, my mother had a VHS copy of Sweatin' to the Oldies. My sister, my cousin and I would have fun, goofing around while doing the workouts, etc. If there's one thing you can say about Richard Simmons, he was a 100% original character. He always seemed genuine, to me, about wanting to help people reach healthy lifestyle goals. Anytime he was brought up on TV recently, it seemed as though his final years were pretty sad. Hopefully, he had some solace in knowing he did some good on this planet. Rest Peacefully.
