Most workouts are way too aggressive. Thousands of lunges wear out the body.

When the king gets depressed, he doesn't call for his wife. He doesn't call for the cook. He calls for the court jester.

Its an eerie thing. My childhood is being washed away.

I do consider myself a clown and a court jester, and I do love to make people laugh, whether they're laughing with me or at me.

I'm 64, but I act like I'm still 12. I go to schools. At colleges, they come out in droves, they almost scare me. I think it's just to see if I'm still alive. After I work them out - and it's not easy - I sit them down and we have a serious talk. Are they eating? Working on their body? I can say things parents won't say. No matter where I go, I talk to each one individually after I teach. They tell me things like, 'I'm starving, guys like girls thinner.' I give them concrete advice about self-image and self-worth.

Well mine is not gimmicky - it is the 6 food groups that God made, and exercising every day. Trying to think positively.

Truthfully, everyone knows how to eat right. They know the difference between oatmeal and a jelly cream doughnut. They know how to walk. Everyone has this in their brain. When I started, we didn't have all this knowledge. Forty years ago, I lost my weight, but only by watching what I was eating.
