The supreme court justices personal trainer details her regimen in a new book: If you think she’s tough on the bench, you should see her at the gym

Look At Pistol Squats and Push-Ups: How Ruth Bader Ginsburg Stays Fighting Fit
While Democrats fretted online about the bone density and blood pressure of the oldest and arguably best-known member of the supreme court, the justice, now 84, quietly continued her twice weekly workouts with her personal trainer, Bryant Johnson.
I always tell people, If you think she’s tough on the bench, you should see her at the gym, said Johnson, whose new book The RBG Workout: How She Stays Strong and You Can Too!, was released this month. She’s tough as nails.
