The 71-year-old fitness icon wanted to inspire people exercising at home during the quarantine.
Richard Simmons, of “Sweatin’ to the Oldies” fame, is restoring his YouTube channel during the coronavirus pandemic with nostalgic workouts for people under home quarantine.
The pop culture icon’s Twitter and Facebook accounts have been sporadically maintained since 2016 , amid rumors that he was missing or held captive. A New York Daily News report in 2016 described him as “frail and trembling” while allegedly under the thumb of his longtime housekeeper, according to concerned friends.
"For all the people that were worrying about me, I want to tell them that I love them with my whole heart and soul and that not to worry, Richard's fine,” he said. “You haven't seen the last of me. I'll come back, and I'll come back strong." Simmons grew up in New Orleans, Lo., “where lard was a food group and dessert mandatory,” he wrote on his website. In 1981, Simmons told the Washington Post that he went to Europe as a 268-pound teenager and modeled for Dannon yogurt and other brands.
