Richard Simmons has clarified the confusion surrounding his recent statements about his well-being, reassuring fans that he is not actually facing health issues.
The fitness icon explained that his previous message alluding to his deteriorating health was meant to emphasize the importance of cherishing each day rather than an actual health update. He apologized for any distress his words may have caused.
He further clarified that he intended to inspire a gratitude-focused outlook on life and encouraged others to embrace each moment. Simmons expressed regret for any misunderstanding caused by his initial statement.
Earlier, Simmons shared a reflective message on Facebook prompting followers to appreciate life fully every single day, emphasizing the significance of living in the moment rather than dwelling on mortality.

In response to the uncertainty surrounding his well-being, an outpouring of love and well-wishes flooded Simmons’ social media platforms during the time he clarified his earlier statements.
Simmons, known for his retreat from the public eye in recent years, has been more active on social media lately. He notably voiced his disapproval of Pauly Shore portraying him in a biopic without his consent.
