Training the Mind …Healing the Body … Transforming your Life Dear Health and Wellness Enthusiast,

I have always believed that thoughts and ideas are our most powerful possessions. For an idea can change the way we look at the world, our health, fitness, wellness and the way we think. And, it can also improve every area of our life – health, fitness, wellness, career, relationships, personal wealth, and self-confidence. Powerful ideas are at the very heart of success and are the driving force behind everything we do at the Reitenbach Institute. We are the world leader in Health-Fitness-Wellness-Nutrition and Tae Kwon Do selfdevelopment and it is our aim to help you reach your highest and most desired destination. Over the past ten years, mind body medicine has been revolutionizing the way we think about our health and lives. Millions of people are discovering that their thoughts, their feelings, and their physical well being are intimately connected and this is transforming the way we eat, exercise, work, and even relate to one another. Since the time of the ancient Greeks, Western medicine has looked at the body from a materialistic perspective, and approached every problem with a material-based solution such as drugs and surgery. But, through the insights of Dr. Deepack, David Simon, and other pioneers of mind body medicine, it’s become evident that if we want to change who we are, we need to simply move in new directions, open our experiences to new interpretations, and awaken our senses to the new perceptions that await us.

RIOT’s Mind Training, Healing the Body Program It offers a uniquely comprehensive approach to all aspects of the mind body connection, including insights drawn from the Indian life science of Ayurveda as well as from the latest research from the West. During this training and coaching program, you’ll become thoroughly familiar with the philosophical foundations of mind body health care, you’ll also learn how to: 

body that life is good. In response to these signals your immune system becomes stronger and highly efficient, providing multiple defenses against any invasion of outside invaders – a.k.a bacteria – that would love to invade your body. Being deficient in nutrition will set you back in every way imaginable therefore diet should be the first focus for anyone hoping to improve physical well-being. Nutrition is key in anybody’s life, whether you’re a professional athlete or working at a desk. It’s about 60% of an athlete’s lifestyle. There is no doubt that food and diet have always had an important connection to maintaining good health and preventing illness. Those who study nutrition believe that “you are what you eat,” and they bolster that belief with scientific evidence that a sound diet will profoundly impact your overall health and performance during day-to-day life.

[A]: “I don’t have time” really means “I’d like to procrastinate a little longer.” The truth is that you can make time if you really want to change the way you look and feel. Ask yourself this: Am I finally ready? [Q]: What do I need to bring? [A]: Just bring a water bottle, sweat towel, mat, uniform, and a positive attitude for regular personal fitness classes. A uniform is required for all Tae Kwon Do classes! We’ll provide all the equipment, motivation, and accountability you’ll need. [Q]: How is this different than my local gym? [A]: A RIOT program designed to get you in the best shape of your life in a fun and motivating atmosphere. Unlike a traditional gym, you won’t encounter intimidation, overcrowding, broken down equipment and staff that could care less if you get results. Most gyms will sign you up and forget about you. Accountability, goal setting and motivation are the reasons we get fantastic results! No gyms can offer that. [Q]: What is the difference between a Boot Camp and a regular Fitness Class? [A]: First of all, our boot camps guarantee results if you follow our instruction! You won’t find any fitness programs that would do that. The second difference is: In a fitness class, the teacher will work out with you and do basic forms of aerobics (which have been proven to NOT be effective at burning fat) A typical fitness class is a good program to do on the off days of this program. It keeps you active and helps you burn a couple of extra calories. In your RIOT Boot Camps you will be coached and trained by expert Professional Personal Trainers, making sure you are doing the exercises safely and effectively so your body can reap the benefits. With RIOT boot camps you only pay a tiny fraction of that cost while being surrounded by like-minded people all focused towards hitting their fitness goals. [Q]: Can I pay per workout or just when I come? [A]: No. You need and want to exercise consistently, right? We’ve found that the second best motivator is knowing that you are consistently paying for your training. The best motivator is knowing that you’re going to have a ton of fun once you get to boot camp and meet your new friends for another life changing workout! [Q]: What is a typical day like at boot camp? [A]: FUN! Since each workout program is intentionally different to avoid boredom and to give you maximum results in minimum time, it’s difficult to describe a “typical day.” You can expect some light running, resistance training, obstacle courses, core training, body weight, and team training. [Q]: How soon will I see results? [A]: Performance improvement can happen in as little as a couple of days. “Visual Improvement” can take from 2-4 weeks depending on your effort level. 6|P a g e
