Ryan Seacrest left fans smiling and seriously impressed after sharing a new fitness update on November 22. The “American Idol” host posted a video from the gym, sitting on a bench as he powered through a set of bicep curls with what appeared to be 30-lb weights.

His sculpted arms were on full display, and viewers immediately noticed how strong and focused he looked.

A Workout Update During a Difficult Time

The fitness update comes during an emotional chapter for Seacrest. Just weeks ago, he shared that his father, Gary Seacrest, died after a long battle with prostate cancer. Earlier this month, the 50-year-old honored him in a moving Instagram post.

“We are heartbroken,” Seacrest wrote. “He was a devoted husband for 56 years, an incredible Papa to Flora, and my best friend. Dad, you will live in our hearts forever. I love you.”

Despite the loss, Seacrest has returned to work and continues to lean on his loved ones.

Friends and family have rallied around him, and fans have been quick to offer encouragement as he navigates grief while staying busy with “American Idol,” “Wheel of Fortune,” and his radio commitments.

His new gym video felt like a reminder that he’s taking care of himself and finding strength where he can, mentally and physically.

Gary is survived by his wife, Connie, and their children, Ryan and his sister, Meredith.
