Richard Simmons Revives His YouTube Channel During Coronavirus

Richard Simmons has come out of retirement to help people stay fit and healthy during the worldwide lockdown.

The 71-year-old retired fitness mogul has re-released a bunch of workout videos over the past three weeks, which has surprised many considering he rarely uses social media platforms.

A Simmons representative told Fox News, “We have had an overwhelming request for Richard to return in some way as a comfort to all dealing with the pandemic. We thought we would start by re-releasing some workouts and other inspirational content on his Youtube channel. Richard is very touched by the outreach.”

Since 2014, Richard has made very rare public appearances and only posts sporadic content on social media.
