Ever since his release from ICE custody earlier this year, Bravo fans the world over have been obsessing over Joe Giudice's dramatic weight loss. The husband to The Real Housewives of New Jersey'Teresa Giudice cites intensive mixed martial training sessions for his recent slim-down, and it looks like he's keeping up his fitness routine in a big way even while living in Italy. He is so committed to maintaining his chiseled bod, in fact, that he recently blew through a pair of pants after a rigorous workout. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey on Peacock and the Bravo app.  

It all went down on December 9 when Joe shared a video straight from his training gym in which he gave viewers a glimpse at the state of his pants after an epic two-hour workout. "This is after a two hour workout," he explains in the clip. "You know when you rip your pants, you know you've worked your balls off."

The father of four then pans his phone down to his, er, crotch to show the extent of the damage. "See?" he says, "That's what you call working your nuts off."

Of course, this isn't Joe's first run-in with an uncooperative pair of pants. Followers of his Italian shenanigans may remember his attempt to pour himself into an itty bitty pair of Italian jeans to no avail. Here's hoping he can find a pair of sweatpants that can stand the test of time and roundhouse kicks.
