Get fit like Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Source: CNN



(CNN)An 84-year-old Supreme Court justice is not your typical inspiration for fitness goals.

But with a book out in October, Ruth Bader Ginsburg fans and fitness buffs can learn her workout tricks.

"The RBG Workout: How She Stays Strong ... and You Can Too!" was written by Ginsburg's personal trainer, Bryant Johnson, and the book is no joke. The publisher's summary says buyers should prepare for squats, planks and full push-ups. That's right, no knee push-ups for RBG.

A cartoon Ginsburg clad in her court robe, purple leggings and "trusty sneakers" demonstrates the exercises on each of 112 pages, according to the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt news release.

Ginsburg is known for her chutzpah both in and out of the courtroom. She has survived colon and pancreatic cancer. There was even that time she exited a smoking plane down the emergency slide.
