Hart recently talked about how he has "fallen in love" exercise and health.
He said, "I work out every day, and I take off every other Sunday. I'm not a big runner, but I try to make sure I put some time in on that (tread)mill. I run anywhere from 2 to 3 miles a day."
Hart will be staying in Atlanta over the weekend for his "What Now?" tour.
When Hart is not on tour, he is often working on movies. He has been in movies, such as "Get Hard," "Ride Along" and "Think Like a Man."
