Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fractures 3 ribs in fall
Supreme Court Justice hospitalized after a fall at her office in Washington.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg plans to continue her workout routine next week after recently injuring herself in a fall, her trainer reportedly said.
“With three cracked ribs, I won’t have her on the elliptical right away," Ginsburg's trainer, Bryant Johnson, told Vox in an article published Tuesday. "My warm up will be gentler — and then we’ll adjust accordingly. When she gets stronger, we’ll resume the regular workouts.”

New questions over Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's health
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was hospitalized after she fractured three ribs in a fall that has raised new questions about just how long the court's oldest member will continue in the job; Gillian Turner reports.
Johnson told the news outlet that Ginsburg will resume her twice-a-week workouts, noting "it’s not the first time she’s broken her ribs. She’s tough as nails.”
The liberal justice was working from home on Tuesday as the high court met for a non-argument session, and "continues to improve," the court said. Justices Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor also were absent.
Ginsburg, the oldest member of SCOTUS, shared her exercise routine in March on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and admitted she works out while listening to opera music.
"The Notorious RBG" has dealt with a series of health concerns in recent years. Ginsburg broke two ribs in 2012, and previously battled two bouts of cancer. Ginsburg also had a stent implanted in her heart to open a blocked artery in 2014.
