Fitness Personality Richard Simmons Claims That He’s ‘Dying’
While not much context was given on what exactly Simmons meant when said he was “dying,” he was much more straightforward when giving out fitness tips.
“Start with a healthy breakfast. Do you like oatmeal…. Whole wheat toast ..eggs once or twice a week Fresh fruit or half of an English muffin,” Simmons said. “Every day that you are alive you have got to move. Whether it is standing or sitting you have got move your body every day. Start with stretching then cardio and strength.”

“There is something else very important that you must do. Tell the ones that you love that you love them,” Simmons said. “Hug those people and children who you really care for. A big hug really goes a long way.”
“If you have time I want you to listen to a terrific song. It is by Tim McGraw it is called Live Like You Were Dying. Live today and don’t forget to pray. Love, Richard.”
