This is an excellent workout for all sections of the abdomin. It's very difficult to do all the exercises the first few times through the tape, but you can rest any time. In fact, I would suggest resting the first few times or you will be very sore. However, the results are a firm, flat stomach area. Ms. Greggains recommends doing the workout 5 times a week, but I get results with only twice a week. She tells you proper form and breathing techniques. This video takes only 15 minutes including the warm up and cool down. I love it and since the current fashion is belly exposure, you'll sculpt great abs to show off.

I have approximatley fifteen workout tapes and can honestly say this is the one I use the most. It is only about twelve minutes of exercise, so you have no excuse about lack time. The workout is intense, but starts out easy enough to lull you in. Joanie gives alternate moves to simplify or intensify your workout. If you do it five days a week as she recommends, you will see a visable change in a short period of time. I could feel the difference immediately and see it in a couple weeks. I've recommended this tape to many people and those who have taken the trouble to find it have come back to thank me. I like to combine it into a longer workout using the legs or buns tapes she has. There are a lot of newer tapes out on the market, but this one has proven the most effective for me.

Believe it or not, this video was initially released in 1985 and I have been using it since then. I stopped using the video for awhile and relied more on traditional situps or stationary weight machines. The results were not as effective as "Super Stomachs". If you are serious about reducing flab in your abdominal area, I strongly recommend this tape.

Unfortunately, my tape has been damaged (overuse!)and I'm now purchasing this item again.

I first bought this video in the 80's. My first impression was that it was outdated and slow moving but it wasn't intimidating and didn't take a lot of time and that kept me coming back day after day. Hard to believe that 15 minutes a day would make a difference but true to her word I felt results right away and saw them after only a couple of weeks. I wore my first tape out and lost the second to my sister. I'm on my third now and still feel the same way, no need for bells and whistles just the slow burn of some great exercises and something that easily fits into my schedule.

I first purchased Joanie Greggains Super Stomachs in January 1993, when I was 15 years old. Within a month I saw obvious results. It is a classic! It's been around a while and it is still great. Now, I am adding Super Stomachs to my workout regime, knowing I will see even greater results than I did 10 years ago (due to much improved diet). God Bless Ms.Greggains.
I will purchase a backup copy, in case this one ever pops :) Please, Use it! It is short (12 mins) effective and relatiively simple. This exercise program is a great investment

I've owned this video since it first came out and it's always been VERY effective. I just started using it again because it's a SHORT workout and it GETS results. I'm buying "backup" copies of this one and "Lean Legs" in case mine ever go bad!

Thats'right this tape was introduced in 1985 and I've loved it so much that when I saw a copy of it recently I had to buy it, just in case I over use it. This is my third copy, the original tape was loaned to a friend she used it so much that when she returned it to me, it finally torn. I don't care how many ab tapes they come up with, nothing beats this one. I remember getting up at 6am doing the tape, my then husband thought I was crazy. Crazy and smart, he's gone and I still have the tape, whose laughing now!! Super Stomach, you go Ms. Greggains!!!

Good pacing, kinda cheesy music, but Joanie keeps you going. Its over before you know it and you feel it even in the short amount of time you work out. The actual workout is maybe 12 minutes long. Its not all on the floor either, which is refreshing for an ab tape... You end up feeling like you have accomplished at least something in a short amount of time. She does offer modifications for those not so fit, such as myself. There is only one maneuver I don't like-the "U" sit-up which makes my back pop, don't know that its that bad for everyone tho. Overall, 4 stars. Too bad it's not available, keep your eyes open for it as an ab workout for your collections!!!

I love this simple ab workout! I have done this workout forever and still love it!

This is the best ab workout I've ever seen...within 6 months of daily use I went from a chubby belly to a rock hard 8 pack (yes, I had two extra "boxes"). It's now been 4 years since
I've used it. What's great is it's only about 8 minutes (if you skip the warmups like I do) so you can get in 2 workouts a day in the morning and before bed if you can...great selection of exercises that get your stomach nice and burning, which is how
you know it's working and isolating the right
muscles...

Whatsup with a DVD copy though? My tape is almost shot
from use and age (lol)
