James Argent was feeling the intense heat of the Spanish sun as he showed off his newly toned body during a workout session. The 36-year-old former Towie star recently underwent a sleeve gastrectomy procedure after reaching a weight of 27 stone during the Covid lockdown. But now, he proudly flaunted his muscles while exercising at Mikes Gym in Marbella, sporting a pair of blue shorts and matching trainers.
In the warm Spanish sun, the reality TV star ran up and down stairs, used bars, and even did a rope climb to get in a good workout. And after his gym session, James decided to really push himself by going for a run along the road. He revealed that his weight gain was due to emotional eating, which was then exacerbated by the lockdown and Covid situation.
James chose to work out at Mike's Gym in Marbella, where he showed off his impressive weight loss in his blue shorts and trainers. During his exercise sessions, he also utilized a rope and bars for a full-body workout. Since undergoing the sleeve gastrectomy procedure, James has lost an incredible 14 stone. In fact, his doctor even told him that he was on "death row" due to his weight, as he struggled to do simple tasks like tying his shoelaces and found it difficult to breathe. He even joked that he couldn't see his own penis.
The Towie star spoke about his weight loss journey on The Mail's podcast, "Straight to the Comments!" where he revealed that positive comments from fans and loved ones have motivated him to keep going. However, he also acknowledged that there are downsides to extreme weight loss, as he used to believe that the skinnier he was, the better. But now, he has learned that being too skinny can also have negative effects on his health, and he is now focusing on gaining muscle and upping his protein intake.
James has been open about his struggles with binge eating and drug addiction, and he credits hitting "rock bottom" as the catalyst for his lifestyle overhaul. At his heaviest, James weighed 27 stone and admitted that he was in a dark place. He even had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance multiple times. But now, he is in a much better place and is reminded of how far he has come whenever he starts to doubt his progress.
