#68 - The RBG Workout with Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Trainer Bryant Johnson

In this fitness-focused episode, my friend Bernie (former Biggest
Loser “winner” and chronic dieter) and I get into a heated
argument about his former trainer Bob Harper’s recent appearance
on Megyn Kelly TODAY about weight shame.


I think it’s ridiculous that Bob somehow thinks applying “firm
kindness” to higher weight people is actually helpful caregiving.
I’m mostly irritated with the segment because it would have been
a wonderful opportunity for a Health at Every Size advocate to
discuss the value of weight inclusivity and the harms of dieting
in weight cycling and raising BMI. Watch the clip here and decide
for yourself.


Don’t miss our fun interview with Bryant Johnson, a trainer I
wholeheartedly recommend because he works with the Justice of my
dreams, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Bryant's new book RBG Workout is a
handy tool for people who want practical, easy-to-follow
movements and no-nonsense advice for strength, flexibility, and
mindset for consistent movement.
