Inside and outside the courtroom, the 81-year-old legal luminary is a powerful figure who does not allow his age to limit his scope of action. It has become a habit for her to work out every day for a total of 10 hours a week.
Rather than relying on a personal trainer, Judge Judy does her own thing at her own pace in her home gym space.
She and her husband of 40 years, former New York State Supreme Court Justice Jerry Sheindlin, 90, let their heart beat for at least 60 to 90 minutes every morning.
She likes to work up a good sweat on the treadmill or strength training. But for Sheindlin, her exercise regimen isn’t about vanity, it’s about her mental health.

A landmark 1963 ruling required federal and state courts to appoint attorneys to criminal defendants who could not afford one.
Through re-enactments, Sheindlin will present the inciting events, trials and appeals of each case in hour-long episodes. The official debut date of “Justice on Trial” has not yet been decided.
“It’s going to be a great, funny, informative show that will subconsciously teach you something,” she said. “People want to be smarter, and they say they’ve learned a lot about the law, life, and social interactions by observing me over the years.”
But ironically, despite the A-list adjudicator’s illustrious tenure, she apparently earned her highest praise for playing a makeup judge in Elf Cosmetics’ Super Bowl ad in February of this year. ing.
“I’ve never had as much respect as I have in the last few months because of the success of that commercial,” Sheindlin said with a laugh, adding that getting promotion for the big game was a longtime “bucket list” wish. added. “That was a pleasant surprise.”
Sheindlin, who served as the “Beauty Judge” in a 60-second spot that also aired at the 2024 Oscars, brought order to the courtroom with her trademark catchphrase, “Beauty is gone, stupidity is forever.”
And the purple-robed bell told the Post that she wants her fans — tweens and teens who are obsessed with the current “anti-aging” trend — to be careful.
“The way to continue life’s interesting and exciting adventures is to stay active and smart. There’s only so much you can do on the outside,” Sheindlin said.
“Adventures will become boring if you try to rely solely on looks,” she warned with a laugh. “It might be fun from ages 22 to 27, but after that it’s all downhill.”
