Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s trainer is releasing a “fun, fully illustrated exercise book” on the octogenarian’s workout routine.
Bryant Johnson is Ginsburg’s trainer, and the 84-year-old justice has described him as the most important person in her life. Johnson has written “The RBG Workout: How She Stays Strong … and You Can Too!” The book is due out Oct. 17, shortly after the start of the Supreme Court’s coming term.
“Have you ever wondered what keeps Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of the Supreme Court’s favorite octogenarians, so sprightly? She owes it in part to the twice-weekly workouts she does with her personal trainer, Bryant Johnson,” reads a blurb promoting the book on Amazon. “From planks to squats to (full) push-ups, this simple but challenging workout — illustrated with four-color illustrations of the justice in workout gear — will have you getting fit in no time.”
Ginsburg’s workout routine has received widespread attention in the months after President Trump’s election. The Ginsburg workout “nearly broke” a Politico reporter who said he grunted his way through attempting to complete the exercise regimen with Johnson while breathlessly noting that “Ginsburg never grunts.”
Liberals have paid newfound attention to Ginsburg’s workout since Trump nominated Justice Neil Gorsuch to fill the vacancy created by Justice Antonin Scalia’s death. Failed presidential nominee Hillary Clinton wrote about Ginsburg’s workout routine in her new book, What Happened, and Clinton noted that she hoped Ginsburg remains on the high court for “as long as humanly possible.”
“I’m no match for Ruth Bader Ginsburg, however, who pumps iron and does planks and push-ups two days a week,” Clinton wrote on page 86 of her new book. “Her regimen is daunting, mine is more forgiving. But if she can find the time and energy to exercise regularly, so can I (and you!). When I’m on the road, I have a mini exercise routine I’ve now done in hotel rooms across America.”
