NKOTB's Jordan Knight Hangs Tough at Fit World

When the New Kids on the Block became a worldwide sensation in the late 1980s, Jordan Knight could count on his youth to carry him through two-hour singing and dancing performances in front of huge crowds.

But today, at 43, he's a father of two growing boys, a husband and a businessman as well as a heartthrob. And he's not 18 anymore, which means his upcoming "The Package" tour with his NKOTB band mates along with 98 Degrees and Boys II Men this summer requires some serious training to get into shape.

That's why Knight was at his gym, Fit World in Cranston, yesterday, following the orders of trainer Brandon Burton, who had him twist ropes, run through obstacles and do other things normally reserved for star athletes.

It's a fitness program designed by Mike Boyle, a legendary trainer and fitness expert who has worked with the Boston Bruins, Breakers, Red Sox, New England Revolution and Olympic athletes to name a few. 

Catch this quick video of Knight doing some workouts. And check back with Patch later today for a more detailed interview about his business in Cranston, his upcoming tour and family life.
