Tarek El Moussa Posed for a Ripped Workout Photoshoot After Beating Cancer
Flip or Flop cohost Tarek El Moussa beat both thyroid and testicular cancers in the past few years, so he clearly has a lot to be proud of. And to prove he's back in fighting form, the HGTV star posed for a workout photoshoot to show off his peak physical condition, and to prove his doubters wrong.
Tarek said he was "too embarrassed to share" the photos at first, but realized he should share them with his fans to let them in on his health journey. "My doctor said, 'You would probably never be able to lift weights again,'" he wrote. "That motivated me to prove him wrong and get into the best shape of my life!"

"I shot this and was too embarrassed to share so I didn't... I know my journey has inspired many people so I made the difficult decision to post.. this is after battling 2 cancers and a debilitating back injury. My doctor said "You would probably never be able to lift weights again"... that motivated me to prove him wrong and get into the best shape of my life!!! Thank you to my trainer @quintin_tucker for all the hard work and motivation and @pyejirsa for the amazing photos. Remember....it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog…"
Tarek and Christina El Moussa have been in the midst of a very public breakup, and headlines have abounded about Christina showing off her so-called "revenge body" post-split. But it's clear that both former partners turn to exercise when times get tough. Christina has said that exercise has helped center her during the divorce, and Tarek's trainer has Snapchatted him working out at the gym:
So "revenge" or otherwise, focusing on your health after a bad breakup isn't a bad way to go.
