Yikes, this is impossible for me to do. I get horrible red bruises all the way up my spine. Am I doing it wrong or am I just too skinny?

Great question! This exercise can be a struggle if you don't have the right kind of mat to cushion your spine or you are rolling unevenly on your spine. I added a video response called Pilates Rolling Like a Ball: How to Avoid Bruising. Hope this video answers your question. Let me know if you still struggle with the exercise.
