Celebrity fitness guru, Richard Simmons, who helped millions lose weight by preaching and living the value of exercise and movement, passed away on Saturday.  He was 76.

Simmons had his own TV show, sold millions of workout videos like sweating to the oldies and owned a Beverly Hills exercise studio/restaurant with a clientele that included Barbra Streisand and Paul Newman.

The fitness legend always said that Americans aren’t over eaters they’re just under exercising! My Mom loved Richard as we called him my house and she loved Sweatin to The Oldies every Saturday morning. And thanks to Richard I found my love for swimming. Find something you love and just move your body!
