01/08 PERSONAL TRAINER BRYANT JOHNSON, THE RBG WORKOUT, SUSAN CANNON, SUSAN G. CANNON ESTATE WINES, SCOTT STEINBERG, CES 2018

PERSONAL TRAINER BRYANT JOHNSON - AUTHOR OF THE RBG WORKOUT

Whether you’re a Supreme Court justice, a clerk, or a janitor, exercise is the great equalizer. A push-up, a squat, a lunge, or a plank doesn’t care who you support or don’t support. It doesn’t care about your race, religion, color, gender, national origin, or sexual preference. You may have a lifetime appointment to the most powerful job in the world, but your body will still have veto power over you. And you’re the only one with jurisdiction over your body, so if you don’t use it, you will lose it. —from Bryant Johnson’s Introduction

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has released THE RBG WORKOUT: How She Stays Strong … And You Can Too!, a fully illustrated exercise book that details Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's famous workout, written by her long-time personal trainer, Bryant Johnson.

Justice Ginsburg began training twice-weekly with Bryant Johnson in 1999 at the urging of her late husband, Martin, after she was treated for colon cancer … and she’s been at it ever since. During her recovery, she received regular bone density scans and, after several months of twice-weekly workouts with Johnson, her bone density began to increase. The result of this test became Johnson's report card for success. Justice Ginsburg has called Bryant Johnson "the most important person" in her life (after her family, of course). 

With RBG WORKOUT, Johnson presents the workout exactly as he does it with Justice Ginsburg, along with some variations to accommodate skill level, personal preferences, and the equipment available.  From planks to squats to push ups, this simple but challenging workout – illustrated with 4color illustrations of the Justice in workout gear – is suited not only for older people who want to maintain a full life, but is challenging enough for anyone trying to get fit or looking for training options. With tips from the bench & sidebars with Bryant's folksy wisdom on getting fit & staying healthy, it’s a totally charming & wholly effective package.

Says Bryant Johnson of his famous client: “Her determination has been inspiring, and she is a living example of what she stands for, including the fight for equal rights for women.”  THE RBG WORKOUT — a supremely good exercise program! — is designed to be all the fitness regimen you need to keep up with one of America’s most admired women.
