GINGER LYNN ALLEN’S SUPERBODY (1993) ***

You all know me.  You know how I earn my living.  You know I love me some celebrity workout videos.  You also know I love me some porn stars, especially ones from the ‘80s.  So, when I find something like Ginger Lynn Allen’s Superbody on YouTube, I just have to watch it.  I’m not sure if this was Ginger’s answer video to Jazz Warm-up to Traci Lords or if she already had an idea to make her own exercise video.  Perhaps having two competing porn star workout videos was a happy accident.  Either way, I’m glad they both exist. 

In the intro, Ginger says her routine is a combination of “Yoga, body sculpting, and low impact aerobics”.  She begins with some floor stretches before moving on to what looks like a mix of yoga and dancercise.  Then, it’s back to the floor for some “Butt Lifters” (which sounds like the name of a movie Ginger would’ve starred in), leg lifts, and crunches.  Finally, we end with some breathing exercises. 

As workout videos go, Ginger Lynn’s Superbody offers nothing too strenuous for the viewer.  If you’re looking to perform an actual workout routine along with the video, you may find it useful, especially if you’re a beginner.  But let’s face it.  This thing solely exists for guys like me to watch Ginger Lynn In tight white workout clothes undulating around on the floor. 

The set is very industrial looking, which is a sharp contrast to the relaxing narration and soft, soothing music.  There’s also a giant fan behind Ginger and her two models that create a silhouette reminiscent of lighting in a film noir movie.  (The use of black and white in some scenes enhances this feeling.)  Overall, it kinda looks like a set from a cheap Sci-Fi movie and is far removed from the homey settings featured in most celebrity workout videos.  That’s part of what makes it interesting though.

All of Ginger’s instructions come in the form of voiceover.  Because of her monotone delivery, along with the New Age soundtrack, it almost plays better as ASMR than as a workout video.  Then again, if you’re watching this, you’re probably just watching it for Ginger, and not so much the exercise. 

Despite her profession, there’s nothing outwardly pornographic here, although Ginger shows off some cleavage here and there and sports major camel toe in many shots.  Also, the slow-motion cheesecake shots of Ginger enjoying her exercise are more sexy than instructional.  Not that I am complaining.  The scenes of her on all fours and rhythmically undulating are pretty hot too.  I guess this is about as naughty as Ginger is allowed to be on a workout tape.  That said, it’s still rather steamy.

AKA:  Superbody Workout.
