Ruth Bader Ginsburg's personal trainer gave her a touchingly personal tribute at the Capitol: Push-ups
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was remembered Friday with both prayers and push-ups.
Ginsburg's casket arrived at the U.S. Capitol on Friday, where she became the first woman and Jewish person to lie in state there. After remarks from Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt and a song, lawmakers and others paid their respects to Ginsburg in the usual way. But when it was Bryant Johnson's turn, Ginsburg's personal trainer dropped and gave her some push-ups.
Johnson rose to fame over the last few years of Ginsburg's life as he helped the court's oldest member stay healthy, even developing what he called the "RBG Workout."
