After Jimmy Fallon admired Gisele Bündchen’s beach yoga skills on _The Tonight Show_, the supermodel and [Under Armour spokeswoman](http://time.com/3269386/gisele-bundchen-under-armour-commercial/) offered to show him how it’s done.

But Jimmy said he couldn’t hand a headstand (and Gisele’s outfit wasn’t right for such a difficult pose) so they opted for a plank instead.

Jimmy actually keeps up with her pretty well– he even does a leg lift and a push up before he collapses under the weight of his non-supermodel body. But watching him try not to look down her shirt is the best part.
