Recently, I was contacted to help teach a model how to jump on a trampoline for a TV commercial. As you would expect, I jumped at the opportunity.
The model, Diana, was an experienced in pilates but she had never been on a trampoline before. We started out with some routine familiarization exercises like walking, moon-walking, doing the "type-writer"and long jumps. Then we moved on to starting and stopping with safe-landing techniques. As she found herself more confident, I introduced star jumps (her favorite), tuck jumps and modified stretch jumps with different arm positions. Soon, it was off to hair and make-up for her and set-up for the rest of the crew.
Jumping on the trampoline may come easy for many of us but when you get a handful of people around, super bright lights and, oh yeah, cameras rolling, it brings in another level of professionalism. I gave a little show to the crew bouncing around, yes it was fun but I give the upmost respect for this model who did an amazing job! She had safety in mind, kept her cool and showed how beautiful one can look from one bounce to the next.
