After reading the reviews, I bought this tape as I really enjoy Method Precision Toning and I noticed someone made a comparison between the two without describing it. I wanted to elaborate on this so other readers will have a better understanding about the differences of these two videos. First of all, while I enjoy the incredible stretch I feel after Precision Toning (PT), I have to force myself to do this workout since it is somewhat boring. I did not find this to be the case with ALC. PT takes you through a series of unique crunch-type movements which tone your abs while stretching your back and hamstrings, all of which I believe create length--when you finish this workout you feel taller. In ALC, you will see some of these same movements, but in addition, there are also athletic stretch movements, and yoga inspired movements, together giving you a great all over stretch, but mostly an unbelievable stretch in your leg. ALC stretches your leg muscles using unique poses to reach muscles that typically don't get stretched in exercise video.

I thought ALC was a more motivating tape to do (I don't keep looking at the clock to see how much longer), and like I said, makes your legs feel great, but PT really improves your posture and strengthens your abs, something that I don't feel ALC does. So, while I will do ALC for the leg stretch and because I feel it is relaxing and invigorating at the same time, I will keep PT in the rotation and force myself to do it because I really have noticed an improvement in my posture. I hope this wordy description did not confuse anyone!
