With the loss of Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg I thought it might be appropriate to replay an interview I had with Bryant Johnson, Judge Ginsburg's personal trainer. 

Bryant is a man who was probably closest to her over the last several years and her reputation for sticking to a straight workout regimen development by Bryant, gave him the idea of the "RBG Workout" book.  (You may remember she took on Stephen Colbert in a workout competition. It became a favorite of many (of us) older Americans. 

You'll get a few workout tips...but more important a behind the scenes look at one of the most respected members of the United States Supreme Court.
