14/31 After listening to the Missing Richard Simmons podcast I decided to do one of the home workout videos! You'll burn more calories running but you'll have way more fun with this. I also think your dance moves will improve. . . . . . #strongnotskinny #31days31workouts #whatsyourthing #missingrichardsimmons #sweatintotheoldies #someday @wait_for_the_beep @fortyreasons @smiyahara @number1jim @styledbyjill

I don’t keep up with podcasts, but recently devoured Dan Taberski’s fascinating and well-produced six-part Missing Richard Simmons. (Yes, the eccentric, energetic fitness and pop-culture icon Richard Simmons.) 

On February 15, 2014, fitness guru Richard Simmons disappeared. He stopped teaching his regular exercise class at Slimmons, cut off his closest friends, and removed himself from the public eye after decades as one of the most accessible celebrities in the world. Nobody has heard from him - and no one knows why he left. Filmmaker Dan Taberski was a Slimmons regular and a friend of Richard’s. Missing Richard Simmons is Dan’s search for Richard - and the deeper he digs, the stranger it gets.

Like me, you likely have oddly fond living room (and booty) shaking memories Sweatin’ to the Oldies in the ‘80s and ‘90s. (And awesome if you still do!) If so and if not, you may have seen well-worn VHS tapes of the hugely popular aerobic workout at many a secondhand store. Although he’s been mysteriously out of the spotlight in recent years, Simmons is not old news. He’s also still beloved as ever. Proof is in this arresting story on trying to get close to the man who was so close and important to so many for decades.

#fbf I've been binging the podcast #missingrichardsimmons and it's making me miss him so much! I used to go to Slimmons Studio for workouts on Saturday and Richard would never fail to shock us and crack us up. Whether he was telling us to get lower like there was a Tiffany box on the floor, telling us to look in the mirror and the "if you're looking at yourself right now you're an asshole", or talking about asian lovers it was always entertaining. Slimmons was by far the most fun workout I've ever done and now that I've been working out regularly I wish I could go back! I hope Richard is ok and he is happy and he knows how much everyone loves him and how much joy he brought us. 💓even the photo of him with my brother made me laugh out loud last night. The podcast is so good definitely give it a listen to get inside why Richard was loved so much. (at Richard Simmons Slimmons Studio)
