Champion wrestler Triple H leads six workout routines designed not just for strength-building, but also for working around old injuries that might make other forms of conventional exercise too painful. Focusing on upper and lower body strength, as well as muscle-building cardio and mobility/flexibility, Triple H's rigorous rituals can sometimes be tough-going. But as the host—who retired from the ring after 20 years with a seriously damaged body—says, the benefits of these customized workouts are better than the sedentary alternative. Everything begins with a warm-up that includes “side-to-side pec stretches” and “squat to stand” moves. Upper body exercises involve dumbbells as well as movement and attention to form, plus challenging high-tension planks and back crunches. Lower body workouts include the “single leg Romanian dead lift” for improved function and balance, and mobility exercises to reduce soreness and cut down on recovery time. Offering custom workout and music-only options, this is highly recommended. [Note: Fit Series: Stephanie McMahon is also newly available.] Aud: P. (T. Keogh)
