Nelly Puts Together New Fitness DVD

The rapper follows in the footsteps of LL Cool J

Rapper Nelly is apparently going to be releasing a brand new fitness DVD to encourage all his fans to keep in shape.

Having maintained a healthy and active lifestyle by playing basketball, softball, baseball and football, Nelly began paying more attention to his physique as his fame grew.

He told Allhiphop.com: "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. 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 featuring Nelly is due in stores September 28.
