It started over a decade ago, when Hart approached trainer Ron “Boss” Everline with a pitch to break into the fitness industry in major way.<\/p>\n
“He wanted to get on the cover of Men’s Health,” Everline told Business Insider. “I said I’m the man to help you get there \u2014 if you listen to the rules.” <\/p>\n
Everline’s rules are simple: lifting weights<\/a>, high intensity exercise, and consistency get results.<\/p>\n Trainer Ron “Boss” Everline and Kevin Hart have worked together more than a decade since the comedian broke into the fitness industry.<\/p>\n Taylor Hill\/WireImage<\/p>\n And he delivered. Hart made the cover of Men’s Health in 2015, then again in 2020, and plenty of other magazines in between.<\/p>\n Now 46, the star is still going hard in the gym, and his workouts prioritize longevity more than ever.<\/p>\n “Age doesn’t really factor into what we’re capable of. Training in a certain fashion keeps you young and vibrant,” Everline said. “The workout, to me, stays the same. It’s how much you load up.”<\/p>\n His rules for getting shredded<\/a> haven’t changed: here’s his best advice to get in shape for years to come.<\/p>\n Lift weights \u2014 the right way<\/p>\n Everline started his fitness aspirations with dreams of going pro in the NFL, and kept his mindset of training like an elite athlete.<\/p>\n His workouts with Hart incorporate full-body training<\/a> for speed and power, with moves like squats, cleans, presses, and lunges. A typical week focuses on leg exercises on Monday, chest exercises on Wednesday, shoulders and back on Thursday, and full-body Friday and Saturday (with an active recovery<\/a> day for light cardio on Sunday).<\/p>\n Over the years, the exercises haven’t changed much, but Everline said their approach is less about lifting as heavy as possible and more about building resilience.<\/p>\n “The lifting now is more tailored toward more mobility and stretching. As you get older, it’s less load,” he said. “Muscle is a foundational principle as you get older. The more muscle you have, the better you are.<\/p>\n Kevin Hart set out to get on the cover of fitness magazines and succeeded, thanks to help from his trainer Ron “Boss” Everline.<\/p>\n Joe Scarnici\/WireImage<\/p>\n Everline, 41, said that the key to progress with weights is to challenge your body with quality reps to put your muscles under stress over time, but you don’t need to go all-out.<\/p>\n “Lifting super heavy, it’s not necessary for growth. It’s really time under tension,” he said.<\/p>\n Don’t skip the warm-up<\/p>\n The biggest change between working out in your 40s is that you can’t just walk into the gym and start throwing weights around, according to Everline.<\/p>\n “I think there’s a lot more warming up and getting the body primed versus when you’re 25, you just go into the gym and go,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
