Exercise Guru, Richard Simmons promoting programmes to fight obesity, Washington DC, America - 24 Jul 2008 American fitness guru Richard Simmons brought his own brand of fitness to Washington after testifying before the House Education Committee on childhood obesity. The 60-year-old would like to see the government doing more to tackle the issue of childhood obesity and is also pushing for increased school exercise programs. "Our children today will not live as long as their parents. What have we done? What have we done to the kids of the United States of America! This is wrong! And I will dedicate the rest of my life!" he said; adding that not everyone can be an athlete but everyone can be fit, he said schools need to hire certified fitness instructors. While giving his testimony Simmons, who hinted that he may even run for office, was dressed in a smart black suit. However, he then quickly changed into a more familiar outfit of tiny striped shorts and red top to give an impromptu fitness session outside.

Richard Simmons, 68, was spotted entering his home after returning from the Los Angeles hospital, where he was being treated for indigestion. The fitness guru, who has been staying out of the public eye for three years, was donning a thick patterned blanket that covered his entire face and body!

“Richard Simmons was hospitalized on Monday at an undisclosed location in California,” Richard’s manager Michael Catalano previously told ABC News. “After a few days of battling severe indigestion and discomfort while eating, we agreed it was best for him to seek treatment. He’s already feeling better and is expected to make a full recovery,” he added. Phew!

After spending four days in the hospital, Richard’s longtime housekeeper Teresa Reveles, 64, drove him back to his mansion in Los Angeles. She and police then escorted him inside while he was disguised under the blanket. We’re so glad to see that he was well enough to return home!

Teresa was previously the subject of rumors that she was holding Richard captive in his own home. Reps have denied the reports that he was a hostage, as Tom Etsey explained: “Teresa has been working with him for 27 years…so, holding him hostage is the biggest, I mean…Teresa is a housekeeper, she’s the caretaker, she is extraordinary, she is amazing, she takes impeccable care of Richard and she has for as long as I have been working with Richard. So that is a complete load of crap.”
