Life is good these days for Tarek El Moussa, with the HGTV star sharing he’s in better shape now than he was in his 20s. Find out how El Moussa is focusing on healthy and fitness in his 40s.
Tarek El Moussa Shares He’s In Great Shape These Days
El Moussa gave an inside look at how he prioritizes his health in a July 18 Instagram post. “Never thought I’d say this … but at 43, I’m stronger, healthier, and more energized than I was at 23,” he wrote in the caption.
The HGTV star continued, “@drinkorgain [Orgain Clean Nutrition shakes] made it easy. 30g of protein in a shake that actually tastes good? That’s a win.”
El Moussa shared, “I started fueling my body with intention — planning my meals, prioritizing protein, and making movement a daily habit. Now I’m working out, playing handball with my son, and showing my kids what it really looks like to take care of your health.”
He added, “It’s never too late to get in the best shape of your life. 👊”
In the video, the HGTV star explained how he’s in better shape now than he was when he was 23, “and it’s just because I finally started taking care of myself.”
He continued, “I plan everything I do. I know what I’m eating, I know when I’m eating, I know when I’m drinking my protein shakes. It’s amazing how your body can improve and how your body can come back. And today I’m playing handball, I’m playing sports, I’m wrestling with my kids.”
“It is so important for me to show my children what it means to take care of my body, what it means to take care of my health,” he added.
Tarek El Moussa Adopted a Healthy Lifestyle
During an April 2025 interview with Fox News Digital, El Moussa shared how his appearance has changed as a result of his healthier lifestyle.
“You know, a lot of people have been telling me lately I look different, like I got plastic surgery, or I’m wearing a toupee,” he said. “But here’s what I did. I grew out my hair, and about four years ago I decided to start going to the gym every single day, not to get in shape or not to be on a diet, but to make it a part of my lifestyle.”
El Moussa continued, “I completely changed my lifestyle about four years ago, and I’m so happy I did because I’m now almost 44 years old, and I’m reaping all of those benefits.”
