WASHINGTON (AP) – Jane Fonda, Richard Simmons and Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

The 84-year-old Supreme Court justice is about to join the ranks of workout superstars with a book about her exercise routine. “The RBG Workout: How She Stays Strong … and You Can Too!” is scheduled to be released Oct. 3, which happens to be the first week the court is in session after its summer break.

While Ginsburg stars in the book, she isn’t its author. Instead, it’s co-authored by illustrator Patrick Welsh and longtime Ginsburg trainer Bryant Johnson, who now also trains Justices Stephen Breyer and Elena Kagan.

The 112-page book will feature illustrations of Ginsburg doing each exercise in her routine. She’ll be pictured in her judicial robes, with purple leggings and “her trusty sneakers,” according to publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

The liberal justice’s health has been a topic of interest following the election of President Donald Trump, with liberals hoping she’ll outlast his presidency so Trump won’t get to nominate a conservative justice to fill her seat.
