I love this article about Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s workouts. She’s 83, didn’t grow up working out, and extremely busy — and still exercises harder than most people.

Your background sounds great. Thanks for reading!
Hey Jasmine! Thanks for creating such a helpful and wonderful site! I am also interested in becoming a physical therapist. I was wondering if you could share some of your opinions on the paperwork required as a physical therapist? Do you find it a time consuming hassle at your setting? How much time do you spend on it?
