Joseph Pilates was talking about a full workout. That would be a complete classical mat routine or a Pilates equipment class. If you can't get to a full workout four times per week, you can put your workouts together other ways for positive benefit.

This is the weekly routine that I try to follow and I know it works well for many people.
