This is what you need to do at the gym to keep up with Ruth Bader Ginsburg
When you're the oldest justice on the Supreme Court, it's understandable that you are willing to do anything to stay as mentally and physically fit as possible. The country sorta depends on it.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg does just that with a rigorous workout that Ben Schreckinger from Politico lived through long enough to share the sweaty journey with us all.

If you wanna get swole like Notorious RGB does at the hands of her trainer Bryant Johnson, you first must warm up. The 83-year-old justice kicks things off with five minutes on the elliptical before a series of light stretches.
Don't worry, it gets harder.
Using machines, Ginsburg does three sets of 10-13 reps each, breezing through bench press (70 pounds, if you were curious), leg curls and presses, chest flies and lateral pull downs.
After a little more stretching, the judge launches into one-leg squats (get up and try it right now, it's pretty hard), 10 pushups, and a variety of planks. According to Politico, under Johnson's training, Ginsburg has impressively progressed from horizontal wall pushups to using her knees to now full blown pushups.
Things move from the floor to arm and shoulder work with an exercise ball, and eventually, Ginsburg does squats with dumbbells while balancing against the wall.
Ginsburg does some exercises that insures that she is flexible and capable of basic mobility, like movements to ensure her knees are able and exercises that have her sitting up and down—simulating getting up from a toilet without assistance.
“I told the justice that if you cannot do this exercise, you will need a nurse 24-7,” Johnson told Schreckinger while replicating the workout—and it turns out she doesn't need one yet.
All of this is awe-inspiring, but what else should we have expected from RGB?
