I’m not sure how many of you have been following this aspect of my personal journey, but since January I’ve been involved in a Fitness Challenge, and to-date I’m down 35lbs – under 300 for the first time in nearly a decade – and building muscle through a mix of cardio and strength training. I often start the week my checking out WWE Monday Night Raw while working out at the gym, so I was pretty excited to learn that WWE is getting into the fitness game with a new line of WWE Fitness Series DVDs from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. On December 2, things kick-off with a his-and-hers launch of DVDs from “The Authority” – WWE Power Series: Triple H and WWE Fit Series: Stephanie McMahon. I’m planning to give the Triple H set a try, but in the meantime, check out the full specs on the workouts contained within…
