Kevin Hart is best known as an actor and comedian, a career that demands relentless travel, late nights and hours on his feet.

Pushed to the brink of exhaustion, Hart opted for change rather than surrender. Adapting what he defines as a “healthy mindset,” he committed to a “no excuses, no days off” mantra that includes a daily 5:30 a.m. training session comprised of everything from heavy ropes to elevated leg lifts. This regimen has raised Hart’s energy and swagger, and garnered him a whole new legion of fans who are as inspired by his planks and pull-ups as they are by his stand-up.

“365 days a year, we got ours in. No excuses, no days off.” – Kevin Hart

“It’s about that confidence. It’s about that head-up feeling…walking into a room and feeling like you’re supposed to be in the room,” Hart declares. “Training for life is living for life.”
