Comic Kevin launches exercise series on YouTube

Kevin Hart is to release a series of YouTube videos in which he tries out the latest workout trends. 

What The Fit? is one of a number of new shows announced by the video giant, including a behind-the-scenes series from Ellen Degeneres.

In his show, Hart will team up with celebrity friends and YouTube stars each week ‘as they attempt to master a different trending, gruelling and sometimes ridiculous workout routine’.

Hart currently has just under 750,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel.

Other shows just announced by the Google-owned service include a personal documentary series from musician Demi Lovato, a talent hunt to perform a duet with Ludacris  and a concert special headlined by Katy Perry.

All the series will be ad-funded, with Johnson & Johnson the first to sign up.

YouTube said: ‘We’re excited to partner with top creators and world-class production companies to offer these new shows to audiences globally—on the platform where the world chooses to watch over a billion hours of video every day.’

No release date has yet been announced for the series.
