On this Friday we would like to take a moment to wish the spandex-clad, King of Aerobics, Richard Simmons a very happy 65th birthday! We have no doubt that he will be celebrating in a fully fabulous (and of course, healthy) fashion.
With his signature outfit of striped short shorts and a bedazzled tank top and his ability to never stop moving, Richard Simmons seems to have a constant stream of amazingly positive energy. We want to celebrate his exuberant personality by remembering some of his funniest moments throughout the years.
Working out seems so much easier when you call it a party – just another way Richard Simmons’ high energy methods were both fun and effective.
How hilarious is this in-flight safety video for Air New Zealand that features some of his classic exercise moves?
Who else can get the entire audience of The Ellen Show grooving in their seats the way Richard Simmons can?
What’s your favorite Richard Simmons moment?
