Nelly wants fans to see how he stays in shape and maybe inspire them to develop the best form they can. He will share his workout routine on the Celebrity Sweat fitness DVD.
The Hot in Here rapper commented: "People think I just woke up all of a sudden and I was this big, but they haven’t been paying attention. If you look at the pictures from ’04 to now, you can see the change. You can see me go from 160 to 170, 170 to 175, 175 to 180 to 190 (pounds)."
Nelly went on to add: "You put in all this hard work, and people want to discredit you. But you can transform your body in six to eight months. In two years, you can create a whole new person."
Celebrity Sweat is a fitness DVD series which features a behind-the-scenes look at workouts with some popular pro athletes and select celebrities. Other celebrities that will be featured include Ochocinco, Chris Paul and Reggie Bush.
The Celebrity Sweat fitness video featuring Nelly will be available in stores in September.
