      In my humble opinion, this was his finest contribution. Everybody needs it and most everyone can do it. And the music is nice. RIP

    I’m glad this video is available. I am a 63 year-old Judo coach. Judo is very strenuous, especially at my age. I use this stretching routine to work out the soreness and stiffness the day after Judo workouts. It’s relaxing and stretches all the main muscle groups.

    Thank you, Richard! I so appreciate you!! If you only knew how often this video has helped me!! I have rheumatoid arthritis and have been using this video for 15 plus years! I faithfully do it every day with few exceptions. I've taken it with me out of town, used it in airports etc. In the past, I had to have the DVD and either a computer or player, but I've used this link on my phone for quite a few years now. So convenient! I seriously love you, and I pray for the Lord to bless you!!! You've helped me and continue to help me SO much!!! And I'm sure many, many others can say the same! So here's to you and our time together every day!! My family know that when. I say, "It's time to do Richard" that I'll be back in about 15 minutes. Most of the time I say, "I'm headed to the porch to do Richard." 😁😅🤗❤️ cause that's our spot!!

    RIP Richard. Thank you for being so kind, sweet, authentic, patient, sensitive, enthusiastic, cheerful. You were as cheerful as the sun and as gentle as the moonlight. You were the cheerleader to our homes. So many felt encouraged by you. You made fitness and exercise peaceful and non-intimidating. Sorry we didn't see u on TV for the last few years. RIP always Richard. You are an inspiration for kindness. Will watch all your videos on UA-cam. You will be missed, but I think you're an angel now. 🙏

    I've been looking for this video for years! I think it came as a bonus video with either Deal a Meal or maybe in a pack with Sweatin to the Oldies. I used to do this video every night. At 56 years old and nursing a few injuries I've found that my body just doesn't bounce back like it used to. I tried one more desperate attempt to find it because I needed stretches to help my recovery. I can't believe I found it! You have no idea how much gratitude I have for you posting this. Much love and a million thank yous.

    Super Glad I found this on You Tube.... I loved doing this routine in the 1990’s & I still love 💕 doing it now - I had lost 30lbs. back then & sure need to take more then that off again - I like how this work-out isn’t too hard, but that you can feel you’ve worked out....

    Oh my God! 🙌😭 Thank you so much for sharing this. I have been looking for this on DVD for years, and I can only ever find it online on a VHS cassette. When I was really little, I used to LOVE 💕, LOVE ❤️, LOVE 💕 doing this workout routine with my Mom and sisters. I used to pretend I was a prima ballerina, and it was always my favorite part of the pre or post workout warm up or cool down. You’ve given me an immense gift of cherished memories from my childhood, and I’m forever grateful to you and the wonderful treasure that is Richard Simmons. Thanks again! 😊👏❤️

    A lovely workout. Fans, I used two, are a must! I sweat profusely evey time I follow this video. It is gentle and easy to follow even without instructions. The slow+smooth movements definitely adds challenge. Sometimes, the inhales and exhales are obvious but not always. Some parts reminds me of T-Tapp, Callanetics and/or Essentrics, all lovely too
