This review is from: Richard Simmons' Never Give Up: Inspirations, Reflections, Stories of Hope (Hardcover)

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.

My name is Rich and I have been dealing with obesity my whole life. I found the stories of weight loss to be very uplifting and profound. They have been inspirational in helping me shed unwanted pounds. I am now under 300 pounds and heading toward 250 thanks in great part to Richard.
