80s icon and fitness guru Richard Simmons sat down with the editors of MensHealth.com this month for a web-exclusive interview. Among other things, Simmons discussed how, at 63, hes still teaching classes, wearing Dolfin shorts (he has 400 pairs!), and taking endless crap from David Letterman and Howard Stern; he also shared his thoughts on shows like The Biggest Loser.
Simmons on weight loss reality shows like The Biggest Loser: Im not into any show that makes people compete when they lose weight. I think the show has some merit and they do some good. But voting off people every week because they didnt lose enough weight, or giving somebody a car or money because they did lose weight? Thats terribleWho are you competing against? Its you. You need to be doing this for you and only you. Not to win a car, not to stay at a fancy resort, not to get a treadmill or an elliptical for your home. The real pride, the real present, is your health and your longevity. My whole career I have never done anything where competition was involved with weight loss.
Why he cries every time he does Howard Sterns show: Im not going to lie to you. I use at least a half box of Kleenex when I talk to Howard. Ive known him for so long, and sometimes he asks me things . . . he just hits me for a loop. I cant believe some of the things he asksIve been doing his show for 22 years. Ive always loved him, but he just likes to rile me up. Im just an emotional kind of person. I sit there and bawl.
Simmons on David Letterman: I love David. (Long pause.) Hes more complicated than any of them, that David. Ive done his show so many times. You know, Ive never actually met him? Even when I would do a remote with him, wed go in separate cars and he wouldnt talk to me. Everybody on his show is so kind; its like a party fest. And then they take me upstairs and lock me in a room. Im not kidding! It makes me feel like Patty Hearst. And then they take you down to the studio maybe two minutes before you go on. The studio is 43 degrees, and Im in those farkakte little shorts. I feel like that Christmas story about the little girl selling the matchsticks in the snow. Anyway, so you do the show with him, and then when they go to commercial they remove you. Youre just not allowed to talk to him [David]. Or if you are, hes very standoffish.
Would he would ever return to Lettermans show? I dont know. Maybe one day, when the time and everything is right. Because I do love him. The last time I was on, we went to commercial and I was like, Id love to meet your wife! He was like, You never will. And then I was like, And see your son! And he was like Youll never see him. And then we come back from the commercial break and hes all friendly with me again. Okay, were back with Richard Simmons. You think Im kidding, but Im not making this up.
Is he still teaching workout classes at Slimmons? I do. A fat reduction review can help you build a clear describe of what you need to focus on to accomplish your fat loss objective if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more improve level of their weight loss plan. Promptly after are seven steps that can serve as methods for your special weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss plans have fooled people into wondering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by producing a person's body to reduce more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. Three days a week, I teach a full hour-and-twenty-five-minute class.
Lets talk about his favorite workout attire, Dolfin shorts, and his plans for them after he dies: They dont make Dolfin shorts anymore. Its true! Im not lying. Theyre from 1979, and they dont make them anymore because the material is flammable. Literally flammable! Theyre not allowed in the United States anymore. Ive got 400 pairs. People write to me all the time and say, Dear Richard, I was cleaning out my garage and youre just never going to guess what I found. Ive got two pair of Dolfin shorts! And they send them to meIm going to donate all of my clothing to the Smithsonian after I die, because I want my own wing. I dont want just, like, a Fonzie jacket. I want the Richard Simmons wing.
Simmons nickname at Slimmons, his gym: My nickname is Dickie Jukebox. I own thousands and thousands and thousands of songs.
His doll collection is out of control: I have a one-of-a-kind collection of dolls. My house is like a museumBut I have at least 400 dolls in my house at all times, and then I switch them out. We all collect something. Your mother couldve collected salt and pepper shakers. Its fun when youre younger, but then we get to our 60s and think, What am I doing with all this stuff?
He took desperate measures when he was at his heaviest weight of 268: I took desperate measures to lose weight and did terrible things to myself. I went from diet pills to 30 laxatives a day to throwing up. Bulimic, anorexic, you name it. And after all the throwing up, I would starve myself. Which meant eating lettuce and water for two and a half months. I almost lost my life. I seriously almost lost my life. Some people reading this will not be able to relate to that, because they dont care that much about food. Or they have an addiction to some other area, so they dont understand what its like to go into the kitchen and look through the refrigerator and then take out a piece of Tupperware and crack it open and theres that satisfying (popping sound) of the Tupperware opening, and you see whats inside. When were binging, we do not think about death. We just think about how good it tastes.
Thinking about retirement? Oh no, I couldnt do that. I wouldnt be able to sit still. If I have to die, I want to combust in the middle of one of my classes.
