Staying fit with the one and only fitness guru, Richard Simmons!

30 years and 3,000 pounds later, Richard Simmons continues his reign as the nation’s most beloved healthy lifestyle expert. The New Orleans native has helped millions of overweight men and women lose close to 3,000,000 pounds by adopting sensible balanced eating programs and exercise regimes.

Richard has penned nine books and three cookbooks, produced weight loss programs like Deal-A-Meal and FoodMover, and has starred in over fifty fitness videos (which have sold more than 20 million copies), including "Sweatin' to the Oldies," "Party off the Pounds” and “Totally Tonin’."

On TV, Richard had a four-year run on ABC's General Hospital and his own self-titled nationally syndicated talk show. He currently hosts a weekly Sirius radio show called Lighten Up with Richard Simmons.

In the complete June 2006 interview with Sidewalks host Cindy Rhodes, Richard talks about how everyone should eat a salad a day to help lose weight and be fit. Additionally, he tells us about the first-ever salad fashion show, The Salad Days of Summer Fashion Show, that helped raised money for America’s Second Harvest.
