7/13/2024 🪽🤍💔 Fly high Richard. Thank you for everything

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.

My dad would do this video every morning before work in the 90's. He recently passed away and watching this again has brought me so much joy! hysterical!

I had a VHS copy in the 90s and it's my favorite as well. So glad to have found this. Thank you!💛

Thankyou So Much I Always was a Huge fan of Richard. I’m 65 and having a hard time with his passing This stretch I will do everyday in his Memory. R.I.P. Richard You’ve always been An Amazing Soul that helped so many people.😇

Thank you for posting this! My fave stretch routine of all time, but I could no longer play my VHS tape. I’ve been able to do parts of it from memory, but it’s great to see the whole routine again.

This video is a sign that Richard was an Artist as well as an exercise group host.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! This stretch routine is absolutely AMAZING! It’s relaxing and beginner friendly. I love doing this routine at night about 1 hour before bed.

Love it! I wore the DVD out. This workout always helped with aches and pains that tended to linger. So grateful to find it. Many thanks Richard.

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!!

Your gift to humanity cannot be quantified. This is utterly sublime. Thank you.

I have this on VHS but needed to be able to access it in a different media format. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is my all time favorite stretch routine. 🙌🏼💕

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! I been looking for this one for so long. Warm thoughts I send your way Raquel 🙋🏻‍♀️🙉🙊🙈🎼🎶😌🪷🌷🪷🌷💕

This is so lovely. It reminds me of Prelude to the afternoon of a Faun. I love the whimsy and dancery vibe. Richard Simmons is a gift!

I've been using this on DVD for a long time. Glad I found it on You Tube. I can do it on my break at work!

I know this an old video but thanks so much for posting it. My drama teacher in high school would play this and we would follow along as part of "warm ups". Glad to be able to watch (and stretch) all these years later!

This seems to be a love letter from Richard to his fans. Thanks so much for sharing. I did this after my workout and I feel like I just had a really good massage.

Richard and Denise Austin were on my TV everyday! Love them both!

So glad to find this long-loved routine on Utube at last! The most relaxing exercise video ever!

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.

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

Quarantine brought me here. Grateful.

I have watched and used this video since 1994 - thank you for posting, so I can share. This is my go to exercise video for recovery from cancer, surgeries and arthritis attacks, :( and now, to keep active in the first phases of widowhood -- "familiar" is so comforting

Thank you soooooo much!! Just what I needed for my stretch routine!! And the applause at the end really helps to keep me motivated. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

Ive been looking for an upload of this for years since i moved overseas. This is exactly what ive been needing!!!! Today it was here! Thank you!

use this everyday on my TV, but my tv went out. Thank you KZfaq. Such a wonderful all-over body stretch. It feels soooo good.

This was awesome!!!l love it. It is July 19 2923

Richard, I love you and your "Stretchin' to the Classics". Thanks so much!😘

In memory of Fitness Instructor Milton Teagle "Richard" Simmons. 1948-2024

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....

I found this in my grandmother's basement that had a VHS and this was the only VHS tape that was down there. Nostalgia.

I have been ill for many years and have gotten so sedentary. Started this one today sitting on the bed. OMG the cracks and pops! Thanks so much for sharing this. I still have my VHS of this, but my VCR tried to eat it. Thank you, Richard, wherever you are! Xoxo

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! 😊👏❤️

Such a peaceful workout love Richard he looks some handsome in this video.

Thanks so much for this. I've searched for it on and off for years. Best stretching workout ever!

Thanks you for this!! My 2nd copy of the VHS tape just broke! You're a gem! P.S. We ALL miss you Richard!! :(

Thank you for sharing this. I would SO buy this on DVD if it were available. In the meantime, thanks again!

That went fast!! I hate stretching but I love Richard...so I decided to try this video and I'm glad I did.

Best stretch video of all time! Used it years ago & i need it now. Thx!!

Thank you so much for posting this. I love this stretch video!

I love to stretch to this video on my lunch break! It's quick, easy and perfect for anyone who sits at a desk for most of their day:)

Done...feels so good! Try it people.

Did my stretches today. So nice. Love this version.

What a great idea,classic music,my father would have loved this!!!

This is the most calming video I've ever seen.

Thank you!!!! I absolutely love this!!!

Thanks for sharing this! I used to do this video all the time...it is a great way to wake up in the morning!

Amazing! Have been looking for this on DVD to no avail, and now here it is! Brings back some great memories!!

I really needed this one! Thanks

Love it, it gets me going for the whole day

I own a VHS player just for this video. Love it use it everyday. 😘

One day I woke up to terrible back pains. Decided I need to regain some flexibility, and remembered I had this here. It's short length is perfect for encouraging my inner me to actually do it nightly

I love this video because it's the only truly easy stretching video in the world. Most "easy" stretching videos are still tough for someone as inflexible as me.

thank you for sharing. I have been looking for this! Such a perfect way to start the day for a non-morning person

Youre the best !

sweet ballet!!

Thank you! Been looking for another one. Tape player broke and ate Richard Simmons!

I love this🤟😍💀🕶️

I still have my vhs tape, now to get the player hooked back up to get back on richards exercises

This video is a gem. Don't hack it up KZfaq as you've done with his other exercise videos.

rich i miss u

I’m drunk right now but tomorrow imma do this.

Thank you for sharing. Love this. I’ll get started

Awesome! Thank you

I was so excited when my son found this one. Had the VHS but let it go figuring that I could find something just as good. It's slow and gentle and most importantly, I can stick with it. Was just about to check to see if they released in in DVD

perfect workout if you haven't done anything for a while,builds up your strength slowly but surely

EN LOS 80S Y 90S YO TODOS LOS DIAS HACIA MI EJERCICIO CONTIGO ESTE ESTA BUENISIMO MAÑANA EMPIEZO ME LEVANTAS EL ANIMO GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS

Warm regards from Brazil 🇧🇷

cant master that move

This video does not have a roll call at the end and no people stretching behind Richard simmons

It's the only stretch video that is easy for someone at my level.

I don't know that you have the right to put this on KZfaq but it really helped me.

So Beautiful that I am a little more comfortable with you .Thank you so much.

If reincarnation truly exists, I want to come back as Richard Simmons!

I need to be doing more stretches myself before or after...or bith on workouts.

i do this almost everyday

Magnificent! Was this ever released on DVD?

Thank You KZfaq Algorithm for finding me a stretching routine

that is a good stretchin workout; love connie

0:43 to skip intro.

I SEE SOME MEDICAL MOVES WITH HIS BODY SO I KNOW THESE ARE THE TRUE THING. WONFERFUL MOVES RICHARD LOOKS GOOD DOING THIS REAL GOOD.

ur good rich real good

Does anyone know the name of the last piece to this wonderful video workout?

my aunt has this on VHS but she never even opened it haha

Was going along good until an ad killed it.

I feel like Richard could have used this video opertunity a whole lot differently and instead used it to be a ballerina and dance his heart out👯

MEMORIES :D, Also can someone tell me the names off the songs used

.

What's the name of the song that plays before Richard Simmons appears?

Don't you feel like a pony when you sweat?

This doesn't make sense. Richard Simmons Love To Stretch was better than this piece of crap!

Add always been one of my favorites not only does it increase flexibility it is extremely relaxing. I still have the tape but no longer a vhs player
