Tarek El Moussa Shows Off Flex Appeal in Gym Pic: See His Intense Workout!

Tarek El Moussa is flaunting some serious flex appeal, sharing the hard-earned results of his sessions with his trainer.

The Flipping El Moussas star shared the results of his early morning gym workouts on his Instagram Stories on Tuesday, Jan. 7. His post, originally shared by The OC Trainer and reposted by Moussa, showed the reality star, 43, clad in a black tank top with black shorts, flexing as he sits on a bench.

“Early morning HIT workouts,” the caption read, a reference to high-intensity interval training, an approach to exercise marked by short bursts of aggressive exercise, with cool-down periods in between.

On his trainer’s account, El Moussa was also shown mid-workout in what his trainer dubbed as an example of “focus.” 

El Moussa — who survived both testicular cancer and thyroid cancer — previously shared his motivation for hitting the gym, saying, “Once I realized how BADLY I wanted to feel good and be healthy- for myself, my wife, my kids, and my longevity- was the second I put my head down and got to work!!”

While his children may inspire him to stay active, El Moussa shared a video clip of his son Tristan, in which the toddler seemingly didn’t have the same dedication to exercise as his father.

“His first soccer practice, and he will not go to his spot,” he narrated over a video of his wife Heather Rae El Moussa trying to coax Tristan to his assigned place during a children’s soccer session at the gym.
