Sweatin’ out the Fats!

Like the title to his newest record, Fats Domino is ‘Alive and Kickin.’

But with Richard Simmons?

That’s right, the Rhythm and Blues music legend Antoine “Fats Domino” Dominique has teamed up with another famous New Orleans native, Milton “Richard” Simmons, to create a new video workout routine entitled “Sweatin’ out the Fats!”.

“Fats’ music speaks to everyone. And I speak to everyone about fitness using music,” said Simmons at a recent press conference.

“It’s seemed so natural for me to use the music from my home written by a man called ‘Fats’ to help people kick out the fats!”

Throughout the recording process, Domino has understandably been spending hours each day at Simmons’ Los Angeles health club Slimmons; but rumors abound that Fats himself is also noticeably shedding the pounds by pounding out his famous tunes on the piano then dancing to them alongside Richard Simmons and his unlikely crew of fitness assistants ranging from the elderly to the obese.

“Yes, yes. I’ve been ‘Walkin’ to New Orleans’ and climbing ‘Blueberry Hill’,” Fats confirms.

“My music just makes you want to get up and move. I don’t know why it’s taken me this long to do it. But I credit Richard for the inspiration and constant motivation.”

“Fats is the inspiration,” Simmons generously offered. “He’s inspired us for generations with his music, and now he’s proving to people from all generations that it’s never too late to lose the weight. I couldn’t be prouder. Fats Domino is slimming down-io!”

“It’s no joke,” said the artist formerly known as Fats. “From now on I’d only like to be referred to as ‘Regular’ Domino.”

Appropriate for people of all ages and fitness levels, “Sweatin’ Out the Fats” fills store shelves this Thanksgiving.
