Richard Simmons is doing well, as confirmed by his spokesperson, despite recent social media posts that caused some worry about his health.
In a recent Facebook and X post, Simmons, 75, shared a message with his followers. He reassured them not to be sad and reminded everyone that the reality is we all are moving closer to our inevitable end every day we live.
Simmons continued, "Why am I sharing this with you? Because I want you to make the most of every day in your life. Start your day by looking at the sky, appreciate your blessings, and savor the moment."
When contacted by CNN, Tom Estey, a spokesperson for Simmons, explained that the social media posts were intended to inspire and motivate, and were not a personal update on his health.
Estey assured CNN that Richard is not dying and is actually in good health and spirits. The intention behind the post was to inspire others.
On his X page, Simmons discusses the importance of healthy eating and encourages his followers to watch his workout videos on his YouTube channel.
A big hug can make a big difference, as he mentioned in his post.
In the 1980s, Simmons built a successful fitness business and gained popularity as a friendly advocate for good health on television.
He has kept a low profile in recent years, but people on the internet are still curious about where he is and how he is doing.
Sometimes, Simmons will post personal updates on his social media accounts. For example, in a Facebook post from January, he mentioned, "I just want to live a simple and peaceful life."
