It's not really stretching -- some of it is, but most of it is like stretching with a burn to it. It works your muscles but in a less intense, longer, slower way than lifting weights does, which is theoretically why it's good for toning without building too much muscle (not that women can really get bulky muscles very easily anyway, but that's another point). It's really good for working your abs, because almost every move utilizes the stomach muscles.
