From Prevention

• Brooke Shields, 55, just shared a new triceps workout you can do right at home.

• The model and actress has been sharing live workouts every Wednesday on Instagram.

• For this workout, all you'll need are two water bottles and a mat.

After taking last week off, Brooke Shields is back on Instagram with a new at-home workout. The model and actress has been hosting live at-home workouts every Wednesday with her personal trainer trainer Ngo Okafor, and this week the pair worked on arms and abs with a lot of focus the triceps.

To get started, Okafor instructed Shields to sit on a stability ball, "because it forces you to use more core." He also had her grab two full water bottles to use as hand weights.

The first exercise Shields did was a bicep curl and press, focusing on one side at a time. "Let's get 10 on each side," Okafor said.

Next, Shields brought both of the weights together behind her head, while bending her elbows for tricep curls. Then, she lifted them straight up. "This is for the tricep, the back of the arms," Okafor said. "You want to keep your elbows facing straight forward. Straighten your arms, and keep your head and chest up."

After triceps curls, Shields headed to the floor to do some pushups. "People can do pushups on their toes or on their knees," Okafor said, instructing the actress to bring her elbows in close to her body for a tricep pushup variation. "Elbows in. It's going to be harder, but the focus is to work the back of the arms, the triceps."

Shields completed 10 reps, and then moved on to do rows. While kneeling down, the model grabbed her water bottles and held them out straight, before bringing them back toward her body. The key is to keep your elbows close to your body. "Don't pinch your shoulders," Okafor warned. "You want to think about starting an old school lawn mower."

Following the 10 reps of rows, it was time for abs. Shields sat on the stability ball, resting her back on the ball with her legs bent. "Have your arms straight up and pointing to the ceiling. You want to stretch over the ball and reach for the ceiling with your hands," Okafor said. "Keep the arms close together. When you stretch, your head doesn't have to swing back. The stretch is in your abs."

"If you don't have a ball, you can do it on a mat," Okafor added. Shields completed 10 reps, and then she did the whole circuit one more time.

In a new Instagram video, Shields said she's been maintaining her fitness routine amid the pandemic. "So much has changed for all of us, which is why I think prioritizing our health and wellbeing is so important," she said. "That's why I've kept up a fitness routine at home. It's not always easy. Frankly, crunches and lunges aren't my favorite, but exercising daily keeps me fit and healthy and sane in these trying times."
