James Argent showed off his toned physique as he worked out in Marbella, just months after debuting his staggering weight loss.
The former TOWIE star, 36, reached 27 stone during lockdown, before losing nearly 14 stone when he overhauled his lifestyle and underwent a sleeve gastrectomy procedure.
Argent showed off his new muscles as he exercised at Mikes Gym in Marbella on Tuesday.
He was spotted running up and down stairs, as well as doing dips to work on his triceps and tackling a rope climb.
Argent sported a pair of running trainers and blue shorts as he worked out in the Spanish sun.

Earlier this year after debuting his weight loss, Arg revealed he was keen to put weight on again.
Argent, who rose to fame when he joined the Essex-set reality show in 2010, revealed he is now working on gaining weight, which was then at 13.5 stone.
He spoke exclusively to the Mail's comedy podcast, Straight To The Comments! which embraces the hilarity and uniqueness of the MailOnline comment section with the celebs in question.
'At my biggest I was 27 stone. I took the p***. Now I'm about 13.5 stone,' he said.
'I think I was just acting out on feelings and emotions, eating and eating and then lockdown, Covid, that didn't help.'
He admitted that his doctor told him he was 'on death row' when he was at his heaviest, during which time he 'couldn't tie my own shoelaces' and was 'finding it hard to breathe.'
Argent, known as 'Arg', said that he wasn't even able to see his own penis, joking: 'I can just about see it now.'
Despite his positive lifestyle change, Argent said that there were times when he actually got 'too skinny' and is currently trying to 'up' his protein and 'gain a little bit more.'

He said that the supportive comments from fans spurred him on to lose weight, but that people have to be 'careful' about what they say.
'You know when you get comments like, 'You look well, keep going," it does spur you on, it does make you feel better,' he said.
'I think you've got to be quite careful, if it's about someone looking healthy, I think - I used to say to myself, "the more weight you lose the better," so the skinnier you are the better, but that isn't actually the case because there are times when you're too skinny.'
He added: 'And even now I'm trying to up my protein a little bit and trying to gain a little bit more.'
Argent, who saw his private and professional life play out on the ITV2 reality show for nearly a decade, has previously said having the gastric sleeve fitted in 2021 was 'incredible and life-changing.'

The TV star recently made an unlikely friend in the form of former Health Secretary Matt Hancock when they appeared together on Channel 4's Celebrity SAS.
He admitted they still keep in touch, with the former politician contacting him every now and again on WhatsApp.
'He was very supportive towards me and kind to me and nice so as much as people would probably love me to slag him off and hate him I can't,' he told the podcast.
'Sometimes I get the odd WhatsApp – yeah I've got him on WhatsApp.'
He said the last message he received from Hancock thanked him for being 'such a legend' and wished him a 'happy New Year' full of 'joy and happiness and prosperity.'
