I worked out like Ruth Bader Ginsburg for two weeks.
- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is not defined by her 85 years of age - she works out with her personal trainer, Bryant Johnson, twice a week for an hour.
- Ginsburg's workout is a series of full body strength exercises that target arms, chest, legs, back, shoulders, glutes, and abs.
- I decided to give Ginsburg's workout a try for two weeks - here's what happened.
If you are looking for further evidence that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg can do it all, just try her workout. Ginsburg works out with her personal trainer, Bryant Johnson, twice a week and has called him "the most important person in her life."
Johnson and Ginsburg have been doing the one-hour workout that he details in his book, "The RBG Workout: How She Stays Strong and You Can Too" for 18 years, aside from the three years he was deployed in Kuwait.
The workout starts with a five-minute warm-up and light stretching followed by a strength training session that includes push-ups, planks, chest presses, squats, and hip abductor exercises, then another round of stretches to cool down.
Here's what happened when I tried the workout for two weeks.
