Richard Simmons Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Richard Simmons:

If your oxygen mask drops down, it's time to take a breather!

Most workouts are way too aggressive. Thousands of lunges wear out the body.

Richard Simmons

No tricks, gimmicks, special pills, special potions, special equipment. All it takes is desire and will.

Richard Simmons

A kid who moves is a kid who learns.

Richard Simmons

I get an abundance of e-mail every day, some say 'dear Richard, can you call my husband, he weighs 400 pounds...' or 'my 14-year-old is 200 pounds...' or 'I just got divorced, no one wants me, I am 500 pounds.' So I pick up the phone and I call people.

Richard Simmons

My father offered me a dollar for every pound I would lose as a kid. It didn't work. And it doesn't really work in the long run. Who are you competing against? It's you. You need to be doing this for you and only you.

Richard Simmons

I have 40 pounds to lose. It is not the fault of the fast food people, and anyone who's trying to sue the fast food places needs a therapist, not an attorney.

How do you get motivated? By knowing your worth. Americans do not know how worthy they are. You deserve to be healthy, but a lot of times, people have, as childs been told - as a children been told that they're no good, that they're never going to be anything else.

Richard Simmons

Number one, like yourself. Number two, you have to eat healthy. And number three, you've got to squeeze your buns. That's my formula.

Richard Simmons

I have rules about eating, exercising and rules about staying positive. And these rules are sacred to me.

Well mine is not gimmicky - it is the 6 food groups that God made, and exercising every day. Trying to think positively.

Richard Simmons

I suffered from eating disorders when I was just a kid. I did not like me or the way I looked. But back then, you could not tell anyone.

Richard Simmons

Stop trying to find something in food that will make you feel better. I used to have eating disorders; I'd binge and purge all the time: fried oysters, po' boys, muffulettas, beignets, coffee and doughnuts. I tried to medicate myself with food when people made fun of me or hit me with a bat in school. I'd always turn to food.

Richard Simmons

I started my own class for people like me who can't find any place else to go.

Richard Simmons

It's not nice to make fun of people with issues.

Richard Simmons

My persona has always been what a man was never supposed to be. Outrageous, gregarious, crazy, silly, funny.

Richard Simmons

I hope in my lifetime we can all continue to laugh at ourselves and not put down anyone for what they weigh.

Richard Simmons

I don't know about you, but every time some joker points me out as I walk through an airport wearing extra-small Dolfin shorts, a tank top and leg warmers, I get a little upset.

Richard Simmons

When I go to bed at night, I ask God to give me another day; I ask him to keep me strong and make me a good teacher and to keep spreading this right word.

Richard Simmons

Truthfully, everyone knows how to eat right. They know the difference between oatmeal and a jelly cream doughnut. They know how to walk. Everyone has this in their brain. When I started, we didn't have all this knowledge.

Richard Simmons

People treat me like family, 'cause I've always treated them like family.

Richard Simmons

If your oxygen mask drops down, it's time to take a breather!

Richard Simmons

I have been up to my head just with calling people, I call about 50 to 100 people a day.

I consider myself a court jester - motivator.

People are still grasping for the miracle, and unfortunately, there are no miracles, if you do not exercise for a year, and let your body remain dormant, then you will gain weight.

Richard Simmons

People have been frying foods since Jesus was on this planet, and there is always going to be greasy, fried, salty, sugary food. It is up to the individual to walk in and say, 'I don't want those fries today.'

Richard Simmons

One day I may be meeting you and hearing how you've changed your life by saying, 'Farewell to Fat'.

Richard Simmons

When I lost my weight, I went and bought about 15 different types of underwear to see what would look good on my new body. It's exciting!

Richard Simmons

Everyone has a story that makes me stronger. I know that the work I do is important and I enjoy it, but it is nice to hear the feedback of what we do to inspire others.

Richard Simmons

This is my theater. This is where I can sing and act out a play and do sit-ups at the same time.

Richard Simmons

I show them the funny part, the silly part, the laughing part, the crazy part and then the really deep, deep part where I'm talking from my heart to these people. Because I've been through everything they've been through.

Richard Simmons

Miley Cyrus, like all of us, needs to be loved. We all come from complicated parents... I understand her, and I love her, and I think things will be different with her. But you know, in the music business, sometimes you have to shock a little.

Our children are obese, either have or being threatened by diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and not socially adjusting properly to others because of a lack of fitness.

Richard Simmons

But if you pick up every other magazine, it is the peanut butter diet, or the cabbage soup diet, and then you go to the radio and you hear that you can drink some solution and you will lose weight overnight. It just does not work that way!

Richard Simmons

I get tired of negativity in our country. I get tired of people who only want to know dirt. I get tired of people who don't believe in themselves.
