Yes, yes.
Your glutes are working, yes.
How did that look?
Hi Vogue! I’m Eva Longoria
and my usual fitness routine is
weight training, a little bit of yoga...
But today, for my Extreme Wellness,
I’m going to try something a little bit more adventurous.
Circus training.
So what do you have in store for me today?
We’re going to do some trapeze training,
both fitness and conditioning,
so understanding how to really use your natural gifts.
- Mixing strength with flexibility. - I have a lot of natural gifts.
My background, background
was tumbling and gymnastics in high school, so,
I do have a little bit of kinaesthetic awareness.
Fabulous.
How about that word guys?
We’re also going to do a bit of juggling
- which might seem a little bit obscure... - Oh.
...but it’s good to help focus the brain.
I’m already screwed.
We’re going to end with some acrobatics.
What? In the air?
You’re going to tap your hands with some rosin.
That’s plenty.
I’m LeBron James guys.
The trapeze? Is that how you call it? Trapeze?
The trapeze.
Tomato, to-mah-to. [laughs]
Oh, this is great.
I want to swing now.
Maybe put you up a little bit higher.
I think I’m good here.
The trapeze was hard...
just on your body, the bar hurts.
- Grip. - Oh God, that hurts my knees.
I hope it looks good because it hurts.
And then bring it down to the floor.
Yes, yes, yes!
They must have very strong abs
and core
and arms
and legs.
Pull up, pull up. Good!
And straighten.
Drop this leg down to the floor.
Yes! Beautiful left arm.
I did it, I did it, I did it.
There was a lot of trust involved today.
Trusting that they know this works.
- Hands off, hands off. - Oh, they go off.
OK. Now what?
Beautiful!
And then you dismount.
Probably, mentally, the hardest thing was juggling.
We’re going to end up doing knives after this?
Like to just focus and have your mantra.
What’s your mantra?
Red, yellow, blue, red, yellow, blue.
Red. Oh!
Again. Red, yellow, blue.
Red, yellow, blue.
It feels so therapeutic.
Red, orange, blue.
Red, orange, blue to red.
Juggling can apply to your life and I think
it’s actually one of the most useful things that I learned today.
My name is Justin and I’m going to help you today with your acrobatics.
- Yeah. - So, acrobatics is
everything on the ground.
You just did some aerial stuff
and now we’re going to do some stuff on the ground.
- I’m excited. - Alright.
I was a cheerleader back in the day.
I used to do back handsprings down the football field.
But that was like 25 years ago.
Let me just see what this feels like.
- Are you going to catch me? - Of course not.
- Very nice! - Yay!
- Do you want to do it without this? - No.
When you’re a kid
is probably the time to learn this stuff.
- Beautiful! - Yay!
- That was beautiful! - I did it!
You know, to do a cartwheel and then do it with one hand
and then, you know, “Oh let’s do a handstand
and if you fall, it doesn’t really matter.”
- Let go. - OK.
Aw.
Having fun and being fearless.
- Here we go. Ready? - Ready.
- There you go. - OK. Now what?
So that you say “yes” to things as opposed to “no”.
Is that pretty?
You mastered it!
Put me in the air, coach!
- OK. - You’re going to step on up.
As I was on top of Justin’s shoulders,
I’m like, “I could die.”
Right? Which... I mean, I know they wouldn’t let me die.
Ta-dah! Look, Mom!
Alright, so give me one hand at a time.
But, you know, you want to
bring that childlike view
back into your adulthood.
- Nice and tall. - No, I can’t.
Take a breath.
- Yes! - Bravo.
- So good. - Thank you.
If acting doesn’t work out,
I am totally running away to join the circus.
