Tarek El Moussa, the HGTV host known for shows like “Flip or Flop” and “Flipping 101,” recently took to Instagram to share a transformation that has left fans in awe. In a shirtless beachside photo, the 42-year-old revealed his toned physique, showcasing a six-pack and more.
In the post, El Moussa opened up about his past struggles with weight, smoking, and alcoholism, admitting that he was once “an overweight, chain-smoking alcoholic, who was always stressed.” However, a wake-up call from a scale three years ago prompted him to make a change.
With the help of his fitness expert friend, El Moussa has been hitting the gym almost every day, leading to the impressive results he proudly displayed in the Instagram post. This isn’t the first time he has shared his fitness journey, previously posting a photo with his wife, Heather Rae El Moussa, to highlight his progress.
El Moussa’s dedication to his physical and mental health is also reflected in his new book, “Flip Your Life: How to Find Opportunity in Distress—in Real Estate, Business, and Life,” where he opens up about his struggles with addiction and mental health.
Now, with a more optimistic outlook, El Moussa continues to prioritize his well-being through a strict health and fitness routine. As he shared in a recent Instagram post, his motivation comes from wanting to feel good and be healthy for himself, his wife, and his children.
El Moussa’s inspiring transformation serves as a reminder that with motivation and perseverance, anyone can achieve their fitness goals and improve their overall well-being.
