Kevin Hart’s Diet
Summary
Hart says he always ate a healthy diet, but in 2019, he decided to ‘kick it up a notch’ by going vegan for a time. This was not due to his car accident (the diet came before the accident), but rather a personal choice to clean up his eating. These days, he follows more of a vegetarian diet because he will eat things like egg whites and sheep’s cheese. He has given up red meat, but admits to occasionally indulging in a chicken wing here and there. Water is another key component of Hart’s health regimen, and he will drink a gallon a day.

Kevin Hart’s Workout Routine
Weekly Routine
The Power of 3
Hart says his exercise routines always include the magic three: cardio, weights and core work.
Rehab Is A Gift
Hart considers his car crash to be ‘amazing’ because it allowed him to start over, see his progress, and figure out what really matters.
Rebuild It
Hart lost 17 lbs. in the hospital and had to rebuild it through exercise and a healthy diet.
No Excuses
Hart is a man on the go, and because exercise is so important to him, he makes a point of setting up gym access before he travels.
HIIT It
Hart hired a trainer following his accident. His routine might include the Aerodyne bicycle for cardio or a run on the treadmill, then they would do high-intensity circuits including weights. In between sets, Hart might hit the heavy bag or use the stability ball for his core.
Curl Up
Hart says curls are one of his favorite exercises, and that he’ll often just go hang out in the garage gym to do them.
Be Intense
Hart says people have a negative view of the word ‘intensity’ and that it seems to imply suffering, but all it should mean is that you are trying to improve.
Exercise Style
A Kevin Hart Routine
Three components:
1. Cardio: treadmill, bike, etc.
2. Weights: free weights, resistance bands, machines, bodyweight, etc.
3. Core: heavy bag, stability ball, planks, etc.
Do whatever speaks to you. Push yourself but it should not feel like a chore. Exercise regularly. Work out early in the day so life doesn’t get in the way. Don’t make excuses.
Hart on his Favorite Exercise
‘Curls. Some days I just come in [my gym] and curl.’
Hart on his Physique
‘I’m a well-proportioned man, outside of my height, which is frowned upon, except in China. In China, I’m a big man.’
Hart on Intense Workouts
‘I think the word ‘intense’ throws people off. They think they have to do the most and make the most. It’s more about pushing yourself to your limits.’
Hart on Making Time to Work out When Traveling
‘The first thing priority is finding a gym, and setting it up so we can be there at 5:30-6 am.’
Hart on his Exercise Routine
I can’t start a day without it…I’m investing in me first.’

Hart takes his own line of vitamins, including a multivitamin for men that is plant-based and contains herbs including saw palmetto and fenugreek that support men’s hormonal balance. He also makes a multivitamin for women.

Whey Protein
Hart’s VitaHustle line also includes whey protein with probiotics and digestive enzymes. Whey protein offers all the essential amino acids, and is a blend of isolate, concentrate and hydrolyzed protein which are digested at different rates, offering extended energy to aid recovery.

Kevin Hart’s Lifestyle
Rest Matters
Hart wanted to go hard at his rehab: twice a day, 7 days a week. His trainer and doctors convinced him that rest was an essential component of the recovery process, and to take a day off in between each exercise session.
New H(e)art
Hart says he doesn’t remember anything about the crash. Investigators determined the driver was not drunk, but that neither he nor Hart had been wearing their seatbelts. Hart says he his grateful have a chance to become the new, improved Kevin Hart.
Take Out the Bullets
Hart disarms critics by owning up to his flaws. He stepped down as host for the 2020 Oscars following the exposition of a 10-year-old anti-gay tweet, but faced the charges head-on and even included them in his stand-up routines.
Nearest Miss
Doctors told Hart that if his spine had broken 1/4 centimeter to the side, he would have been permanently paralyzed.
Small Victories
Hart says during rehab, he wasn’t supposed to be bending his back, and so he would hide in his closet to work on putting on his socks.
Hart on His Car Accident
‘It’s a resurrection. That’s the best way for me to put it. I feel like the other version of myself died in that moment and this new version was born to understand and to do better.’
Hart on his Greatest Post-accident Accomplishment
‘Putting on my socks was a bigger deal. I felt so hopeless, not being able to do something that was once so easy.’
Hart on Passion
‘You don’t wanna do nothing that you’re not passionate about. That’s stupid.’
Hart on Problems
‘Problems are made to be solved. Maybe if people see how I’ve gone through some of my hardships, they’ll find some motivation or inspiration.’
Hart on Himself
‘There’s a rumor —I didn’t start it — but in 2020, Kevin Hart is supposed to be the sexiest man alive.’
