    Richard Simmons, Exercise and Fitness Personality, Dies at 76

    With his exuberant can-do spirit, Mr. Simmons appealed to a wide following to get moving with exercise videos like “Sweatin’ to the Oldies.”
    . . .    ​

    I can't say I was a fan but he was an amusing contrast to the Marines.

    I have to admit that my first thought was:
    "Dang! that dude LIVED in workout clothes and he died at 76?!?! I'm going to start eating cheeseburgers again!"

    Simmons was NOTHING if not a vibrant dude who had a passion for helping others (unless they worked for the National Enquirer!)
    He brought more smiles to people's faces than frowns - and that says a lot about HIM as a person.

    The article mentioned a cancer which has taken a lot of folks early.

    I get two dermatologist visits each year and wear long sleeve shirts and a hat.

    When he first became popular, my decidely overly male hormone ridden friends and I (early 20s in age), did not know what make of him, but all our girlfriends loved him.:confused:

    He grew on us.:p
