nuvoTV’s hit series, OPERATION: OSMIN returns for a life-changing second season on Friday, Jan. 13 at 10:00PM (EST/PST)/9:00PM (Central) -- just in time to kick-start viewers’ New Year’s resolutions and fitness goals! Fearless former Cuban military officer turned celebrity fitness guru Osmin Hernandez, who has trained hard-bodied Hollywood A-listers like Mickey Rourke, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg and Gloria Estefan, will transform the lives of 20 ordinary people this season.

This time around the training is harder, the challenges are more intense and the mind/body transformations are unforgettable. In each episode, the testosterone-charged, no-nonsense fitness workouts to create insane body-reshaping results in only 30 days, whipping his recruits into the best mental and physical shape of their lives -- if they can handle it!

Season two participants include folks from every walk of life -- from America’s bravest, including a cop duo and a pair of firefighters, to an unassuming suburban mom with plans to shape up to pose for Playboy and a tough-talking football jock who is nearly sidelined by Osmin’s intensity. They each willingly put themselves on the line, working out in a gorilla suit, trudging a jungle barefoot, exercising in a lightning storm, trying to outrun a train coming head on, and going to such extremes that at least one recruit ends up in an ambulance and another goes M.I.A.! You’ll break a sweat just watching all the action of Season 2 unfold!

“The viewer response to Operation: Osmin has been incredible, making it one of the most watched original series in our network’s history. He has established a strong and passionate fan base,” said Maria Perez-Brown, nuvoTV’s senior vice president of programming. “Osmin is a force of nature to be reckoned with and you can always expect the unexpected. His interaction with recruits is fun, heartfelt and always entertaining, making him a perfect fit for the nuvoTV brand.”

Osmin is heading to L.A. January 11 for a record-breaking fitness challenge. The FREE event, where hundreds are expected to join Osmin in a jump-squat routine, is happening at Los Angeles' popular outdoor mall The Grove @ 3 p.m. Extra will be taping the event to air on the hit entertainment news show.
