Customer Reviews

Classic Richard

I am embarassed to admit this: I am a closet Richard Simmons fan. Yes, he's a little corny, a little cheesy, a little over the top sometimes but having said that: I love the man. What a bright and shining light of inspiration he is to people without hope or direction. I originally dubbed the audio version of this book on tape from the library over 10 years ago. I still listen to it. I decided that I would like to own the actual book version because I enjoyed the tapes so much. This book is filled with short, easy-to-read-in-a-couple-of-minutes stories of inspiration, and practical tips for changing one's lifestyle. I don't have a weight problem but I am inspired to make healthy choices in my life because of this book. I highly recommend it.
