Richard Simmons Not Ill, Rep Says

Richard Simmons' rep quelled rumors that the 63-year-old fitness guru's health was declining.

"He's the healthiest he's ever been," rep Tom Estey told People.

The rumors started after his "Dancing With The Stars" appearance Monday in which he looked especially thin, according to People.

"He's happy," Estey says, as reported by People. "Everything with him could not be better."

Simmons is currently fighting for the passage of the Fit Kids Act, which would help fight childhood obesity by strengthening physical education classes in the nation’s schools, according to People. He is also teaching fitness classes in his personal Beverly Hills dance studio.
