“#RBG’s personal trainer Bryant Johnson spotted doing pushups at funeral<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Overcome with emotion for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, personal trainer Bryant Johnson was compelled to honor his inspirational client with three steely, somber push-ups.<\/p>\n

Since Friday morning, the body of the beloved jurist has lain in Capitol Hill\u2019s Statuary Hall, where the sculptures of many great state leaders are watching over her casket. The 87-year-old champion for gender equality died on Sept. 18 from complications of pancreatic cancer.<\/p>\n

The social<\/a>ly distanced viewing has already seen dozens of lawmakers and political VIPs pay their respects, while remote mourners are tuning in to a live feed<\/a> at the site \u2014 many of whom were stirred by Johnson\u2019s unorthodox dedication.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never cried over push-ups before .\u2009.\u2009. but that streak is broken,\u201d tweeted one viewer<\/a>\u00a0in response to C-Span\u2019s coverage.<\/p>\n

\u201cwhat a kick a$$ way to pay tribute to RBG,\u201d added CNBC broadcaster Dominic Chu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, the uncustomary tribute was interpreted as disrespectful by some, despite Johnson and Ginsburg\u2019s well-documented client-trainer relationship, which lasted over 20 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is beyond weird,\u201d said one viewer<\/a> while watching the NBC News<\/a> livestream.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Johnson wrote a book based on the workout he designed for the unshakeable justice, who stood just 5 feet 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s tough as nails, and she\u2019s serious about her workouts,\u201d Johnson told The Post in 2017, following the release of \u201cThe RBG Workout: How She Stays Strong .\u2009.\u2009. And You Can Too!<\/a>\u201d (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt).<\/p>\n

Push-ups, he said, were a big part of their routine, and the justice never missed them.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe gets mad if I try to skip the push-ups,\u201d said Johnson, a veteran Army reservist.<\/p>\n

Her full-body routine also included jogging, presses, curls, rows, squats and planks, which she hated, according to Johnson.<\/p>\n

Even during the coronavirus pandemic, the justice was said to have maintained her fitness regimen religiously. Johnson told CNBC<\/a> in June, \u201cWe are consistently working out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no excuse,\u201d he said of the justice. \u201cYou either do it or you don\u2019t, and that\u2019s her attitude. She shows up.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
