Source: Time
The trailer for the Ruth Bader Ginsburg documentary RBG has arrived and all are now hailing the cutting words, longstanding wisdom and aspirational exercise routine of the beloved Supreme Court justice.
Ginsburg has held her post in the highest court in the land for decades, and its no secret that at 84 years old shes still in great shape, thanks to a committed workout routine. (Theres even a book published on her hardcore fitness plan.) In the new trailer for RBG, which hits select theaters on May 4, we get a glimpse into what that entails: lifting weights and holding planks for core strength are clearly a major component.
Even her friends and contemporaries are impressed by RBGs strength. Ive heard that she does 20 pushups three times a week or something, I mean we cant even get off the floor, we cant even get down to the floor, one laughs. Thats true, the other corroborates.
When you come right down to it, another woman notes, shes the closest thing to a superhero I know. In other words, Ginsburg serves as both fitness inspiration and life inspiration, working tirelessly as she has to forward civil rights and gender equality over her extensive career in law.

hall way of the organization's office, where I worked as a secretary to the Ex. Director, Aryeh Neier. All I remember is her certain intensity and the fact that she looked tiny.
It is a treasured memory.
