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?
I think you're correct about your core, being the reason you need someone to hold your feet. I'm the same way, but as you increase your abdominal muscles, it should become easier.
