Legendary fitness guru Richard Simmons has fans on edge, claiming that he’s “dying”.
The 75-year-old who made a career out of mad fitness videos in the 80s and 90s took to social media to make a bizarre declaration. Telling his army of 425k followers “don’t be sad” as he admitted that he was “dying”.
He wrote: “I have some news to tell you. Please don’t be sad. I am ….dying. Oh I can see your faces now. The truth is we all are dying. Every day we live we are getting closer to our death.”

Continuing his rant, he went on to explain that he was telling fans this grim news because he wants them to “enjoy” life to the fullest. However, he failed to explain why he’s dying . . . but ranted about food instead and told his followers to have a healthy breakfast of oatmeal, whole-wheat toast and eggs.
He then went into great detail about lunch and dinner, before adding: “Every day that you are alive you have got to move. Whether it is standing or sitting you have got move your body every day. Start with stretching then cardio and strength.
“I have a lot of workout videos on YouTube that you can use. Or maybe you have some videos at home. And before you go to bed do a little stretching. There is something else very important that you must do – tell the ones that you love that you love them. Hug those people and children who you really care for. A big hug really goes a long way.

“If you have time I want you to listen to a terrific song. It is by Tim McGraw it is called Live Like You Were Dying. Live today and don’t forget to pray.”
However, having seemingly caused an almighty panic, the leaping legend posted a few hours later to clarify what he was talking about. He said: “Sorry many of you have gotten upset about my message today. Even the press has gotten in touch with me. I am not dying.
“It was a message about saying how we should embrace every day that we have. Sorry for this confusion.”
