Broderick Steven "Steve" Harvey, born on January 17, 1957, in Welch, West Virginia, is a multifaceted American entertainer widely recognized for his achievements as a comedian, actor, author, and radio personality. Before gaining fame, Harvey held various jobs, including working as a boxer, insurance salesman, carpet cleaner, and mail carrier.
Steve Harvey rose to prominence as part of the "Kings of Comedy" tour, ultimately becoming a household name thanks to his television and radio ventures. He is best known as the host of popular shows including The Steve Harvey Morning Show, Family Feud, and his former daytime talk show Steve Harvey. Over the course of his career, Harvey has garnered numerous accolades, including three Daytime Emmy Awards and eleven NAACP Image Awards.
At age 50, Harvey launched the "50 and Fly" campaign in partnership with former Mr. Olympia Lee Haney. The campaign aims to inspire men aged 40 and older to prioritize health and fitness by toning up, slimming down, eating right, and refusing to let age be an excuse for unhealthy habits. By taking a leadership role, Harvey modeled the behavior he advocated, adopting structured diet and exercise routines.
Two of the core principles guiding Harvey's transformation were:
1. "Eat for what you’re about to do, not what you’ve done."—This strategy promotes eating carbohydrates before workouts while limiting meals to protein and vegetables during inactive periods.
2. "Stimulate, Don’t Annihilate."—This approach emphasizes moderate, consistent training instead of muscle overexertion.
