Not being able to do situps or some pilates exercises without someone holding down feet: Is it a core issue?

Question by Niki T: Not being able to do situps or some pilates exercises without someone holding down feet: Is it a core issue?
I’m wondering because it seems that every time I watch a pilates instruction video, they seem to have no issue doing the moves without someone holding their feet down and I do.

I am not fat but I am slightly larger than the fitness models on these things and I carry a lot of my weight in my bust so is this just a matter of being too top heavy or if I keep at it, can I eventually be able to do it on my own?

Answer by Pinklovaa
keep trying. don’t quit because of a minor set back. don’t worry. once you’ve done it so many times, you will be fine on your own. try putting heavy books on your feet instead of a person. technically that is doing it on your own. =) Just kidding. Don’t stop trying!

Q&A: How can I work out my back and shoulders without weights?

Question by baaark: How can I work out my back and shoulders without weights?
I’ve been working out lately, and since I’m really tight on space, I don’t use anything like exercise equipment and weights. Just my Pilates DVD and my mat. But I want to know how to work out my shoulders and my back without going out and buying dumbbells.

Also, I don’t have any access to a bar for pull ups or anything like that.

If anyone has any advice, I’d appreciate it.

Push ups and reverse push ups, where you prop your feet up on a chair, sit on the floor and push yourself up.
