Brooke Shields Stuns at 59 in Bikini on New Year's Trip

Brooke Shields is showing off her forever young figure – in a swimsuit. In a new social media post the actress makes 59 look like 39, posing on the beach in a bikini and flaunting her super flat abs. "The best new years trip 🩵🏝️," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "Thanks for giving me my new goals for 2025 @brookeshields 🔥🙌" commented Beverly Hills, 90210 star Tiffani Thiessen. "🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥," added supermodel Helena Christensen. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Brooke is all about moderation when it comes to diet. "We've been taught, 'Deny yourself pleasure.' But moderation is harder because it requires really committing to balance," she told Health. "I find that if I say, 'I'm not gonna eat ice cream' or 'I'm not gonna drink,' all I want to do is drink and eat ice cream. It's some kind of psychological battle."df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

During a recent interview with Celebwell, Brooke's trainer, New York based trainer Ngo Okafor, unveiled details about her rigorous routine. "Brooke and I would usually train for one hour, three to four days a week. Our sessions are results driven," the Iconoclast Fitness gym owner told us. To prepare for her recent Jordache campaign, they "ramped up" training. The goal was to get her as lean as possible, in a short time," Ngo explains. "We did a 14 day transformation program." During this period, Brooke worked out every single day. "The sessions consisted of strength training circuits and abs, with cardio bursts mixed in, with a goal to keep Brooke's heart rate elevated while she lifted weights, which will enable her to burn more calories than lifting alone," Ngo told Celebwell. "I would have Brooke do lighter weights, with high repetitions. This makes the exercises more cardiovascular in nature, which burns more calories. The goal is always to burn 10 calories per minute."

"I started working on little individual muscles, and sort of shaping the muscles that don't really get attention," Brooke said on the Today Show about her strategy. "You don't have to deadlift 100 pounds. You can do small, teeny movements to activate these little muscles that actually wrap around other bigger muscles, and they tighten them all in. It was a revelation to work with a personal trainer and it not be a crazy painful thing."

If you want flat abs at 59, plan on working for them. Brooke once demonstrated one of her go-to ab moves on Instagram dubbed The Penguin. "It's harder than it seems… keep your stomach tight and work your obliques," she instructed. She also uses an exercise ball to activate her abs.

Brooke also does 30 minutes of cardio on her own. "The other two days would be cardio and stretching days," he says. "She would do an hour of low impact cardio (to ensure that she didn't get injured), abs and stretching." Why should you consider stretching? "Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints," says Harvard Health. "Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage."

When does Brooke feel her healthiest? "Truly, when I get enough sleep and drink enough water," she told Healthy Living Magazine. "I don't think there's a trick to being healthy; I think we all know what our limitations are." What are the health benefits of sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z's is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.
