A fun, fully illustrated exercise book that details Ruth Bader Ginsburg's workout, written by her trainer.

Have you ever wondered what keeps Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of the Supreme Court’s favorite octogenarians, so sprightly? She owes it in part to the twice-weekly workouts she does with her personal trainer, Bryant Johnson, a man she's called “the most important person” in her life. Now you too can work out with Justice Ginsburg’s trainer in the comfort of your home with The RBG Workout. From planks to squats to (full) push-ups, this simple but challenging workout—illustrated with four-color illustrations of the justice in workout gear—will have you getting fit in no time. With tips from the bench, and sidebars with Bryant’s folksy wisdom on getting fit and staying healthy, this delightful book is a perfect gift for anyone looking to emulate one of America’s most admired women.

Review

"RBG does not mess around." —SELF "The RBG Workout: How She Stays Strong…and You Can Too! is definitely worth consulting if you want the stamina of the Justice." —People.com "If you think it’s an easy workout befitting a slightly built octogenarian, be warned: It isn’t." —AARP "Folks half Ginsburg’s age will sweat just reading about every crunch, press and lunge in the 84-year-old’s workout circuit." —New York Post —

If RBG, at 84 and as busy as she is, can do this twice a week, so can I. And, so can you.

I have started to do this workout, and I am finding it very do-able and while I wouldn't say it is enjoyable, since it IS exercise aka WORKING out, they call it work, not play, it isn't torture, either. I like the flow of the exercises, I like the little comments the trainer makes. The illustrations and text are clear so that I easily understand what I need to do to perform the exercise. I have a weight stack in my basement which affords me the possibility of doing at least most of the 'at the gym' exercises, and I have done those as well as the same versions for at home, using bands and or tubes and doorways and chairs. I find both methods are easy enough to do, the at home method is very accessible, probably, for most people. I don't have the medicine ball or the flat sided ball, but think I will get them in the future. I am keeping to doing this workout twice a week. If a Supreme Court justice can manage to find the time, I can too. I am a 55 year old, fairly healthy woman, I am moderately fit, and have an autoimmune arthritis disorder. If I can do this, most anyone can. You start at your level. RBG didn't start with doing planks either.

Great exercises for Seniors or Young People

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2018

I love this book! As soon as I received it, read it through a couple of times. It's good to read and understand about all the exercises. The illustrations are great. It gives you an option for each exercise so you can do it on a machine at a gym or with resistance bands at home or wherever. I like that it first gives you warm up exercises, then gives you machine/band exercises, then floor and chair exercises, then stability ball exercises, also a few medicine ball and bosu ball. (It's a half ball w/platform). I already did one complete set (whew!) and they cover all the muscle groups...l could tell the next day. I started out with ONE SET of each, so as not to end up sore. At the end are cool down exercises. Justice Ginsburg does one hour, 2x per week...the exercises could also be broken into smaller parts, to be done in more days. The book is small and fits right in my gym bag. I took it to the gym and just followed it...felt good to have sort of my private coach. I am 75, and I was able to do them. Not easy, but I went easy and slow.

Great Program If You Don't Have A Trainer or Don't Want One

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a great little book. I'm about the same age as RBG was when she began working out, and I started working out with a trainer four years ago after recovering from an accident that put me in a wheelchair for four months. Recently I decided I no longer needed a trainer since I could do a pretty good workout on my own (and save many $$$, and not have to show up for specific appointments). I ordered this book after seeing RBG herself at an event where she mentioned the book and her overwhelming gratitude to her trainer.

Looking over the book, I am amazed at how it is very much like the workout I developed on my own after the years with a trainer. It includes many things I do, as well as many I haven't been doing but have done with my trainer (and would probably be wise to incorporate into my routine). It's a solid, simple, no gimmicks workout, probably good for all ages but particularly for older people who are not looking to bulk up or win body-building competitions, but rather want to maintain or increase strength, flexibility, and balance. I am a huge believer in working out to stay in shape, as my doctors said if I hadn't been so fit before my accident, I wouldn't have recovered. And exercise afterwards got me back to doing everything I had done before. If you don't have a trainer--and even if you do but would prefer to work out on your own--this is a great program.

And I hope Ruth lives forever!

Loved that each exercise is shown in a gym (apparatus) version and a resistance band version that this 80 year old can do at home. Inspiring bonus that each is illustrated by RBG herself.

Great at home or gym workout!

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2022

I LOVE this book!! Each move has an illustrated graphic making it easy to understand how to perform them, if you haven't performed the exercises before. The book is easy to follow. I love the recommended exercises - it contains both a gym version and an at home alternative for each move. Nothing in it is too complicated and the book itself is small - making it a GREAT book to bring where ever you go for quick reference. My only wish for it is I wish it was spiral bound, that would make it even better.

Exercises for old people like me. If RBG can do them, so can I.

Reviewed in Canada on February 14, 2018

We're slowly working through this as space is at a premium right now and I'm still looking for a door suitable for pulling cords against. The exercises are variations on what I've done over the years, but more organized into a program I can follow rather then being random exercise done in no particular order. Small book which I may take apart (I have 2 copies) and put into a 3 ring binder so it lays flat on the floor or table while so I can see the next position/exercise to be in without any bother with keeping the pages flat.
Fun for him and me. Maybe gardening won't hurt as much this year!

You can do every one of these exercises at home. Very clear and well written format. If you do not have access to a gym, you will need to buy exercise bands and and a door anchor (which I did from AMazon). The book tells you exactly what you need. Nothing expensive.
Highly recommend. And I am 71 years old.

This is a great little book. The problem is that it isn't properly bound so that the pages quickly start to fall out. If you want a book which will last you about 2 months, this is the one for you!
