ETR Insider Report: A 10-Minute Exercise Routine You Can Do Anywhere

By Suzanne Richardson

On a recent visit to ETR headquarters in Delray Beach, FL, I got a chance to see just how dedicated ETR staffers are to getting fit. And it was easy to see that the exercise routines Coach Yari has been teaching them are easy to do almost anywhere.

Having forgotten my sneakers, I had to sit on the sidelines as six of the ETR staffers who are participating in the company’s fitness and weight-loss challenge gathered in the palm-tree lined back lot of the ETR building. With them was Coach Yari, who called out the exercises they were to do that day. After about 30 seconds, everyone was red-faced and panting, but the results of these fat-burning, muscle-building workouts is clear. Jessica Haynes has lost 25 percent of her body fat in the six weeks since she started exercising with Coach Yari, and Charles Delvalle has lost 37 pounds of fat and gained 22 pounds of muscle.

You can duplicate the workout I watched everyone else do - in your yard, on the beach, or even in the parking lot behind your office. Here’s how:

. Do 50 squats (and do them quickly!).
. Mark off a point about 100 feet in front of you. Run to it and back, lifting your knees high at each step.
. Return to the 100-feet mark, this time kicking your rear end with your heels as you run. Come back doing the same.
. Return to the 100-feet mark, this time getting into squat position and jumping forward as far as you can, landing in squat position. Come back doing the same.
. Do 10 push-ups.

This workout gets your heart pumping while helping to strengthen the long muscles in your legs. Try it!

"I think technology advanced faster than anticipated. In that whirlwind, a lot of companies didn’t survive. The reason we [Amazon.com] have done well is because, even in that whirlwind, we kept heads-down focused on the customers. All the metrics that we can track about customers have improved every year."

Word to the Wise: Rejoinder

A "rejoinder" (rih-JOIN-dur) - from the Latin for "to join" - is an answer or reply.

Example (as used by Richard Elman in Namedropping: Mostly Literary Memoirs): "I kept looking for exceptions to his pronouncements, flaws in his reasoning, my constant rejoinders to his critical remarks being ‘Yes, but …’"
