Great job everyone kayaking last night and at “Let’s Get It On” this morning.  Dr. M shot some video of the kayaking which we should have up shortly.

For everyone who was with me this morning, you don’t even know how impressed I was.  That is a tough workout, you don’t know what you have left, what you’re doing next, etc.  You guys killed it though.  Awesome job.

Athlete of the Day - Rick R. - For two reasons.  He kicked butt today and Monday, even though he couldn’t make it to Crossfit, he took the initiative to workout on his own.  That is true bootcamp dedication!

Bootcampers!

I was thrilled to see you guys out early on Monday morning at 6:30am to workout at Windy City Crossfit for the second week in a row.  Although I was happy to see many there, I know there are several more of you who had an excuse as to why you couldn’t be there….some excuses better that others I should add

Look, in the end it consistency that pays off, so if you missed today’s workout you could still be labeled “consistent” come Friday if you just make the committment the rest of the week.  One of our participants, Rick R., said he and his wife Sharon, just did their own workout at home this morning because they truly couldn’t make the gym today.  Thats
an example of someone who really wants to get change toward achieving wellness!!!  Good job Rick and Sharon!

I’ll see you “kayaker” people tomorrow….its gonna be Awesome!!!

ps…for those of you who would like to have your voice heard and make a difference with
the upcoming National policy regarding health reform, please visit the site chirovoice.org just follow the instructions….without your voice people will have less of a chance to have chiropractic as part of their wellness lifestyle.

I just had a woman in today, who told me her 1 year old son went through his first cold ever without an ear infecion and tons of wax build up.  She just can’t believe how quickly a child responds to a good adjustment.  Last week a 17 year old high school student told his mom and I that he feels great for the 1st time in years, and he is able to get off of his ADHD meds.  Listen, stories like these will be far and few between without your voice.  So whether its passing our a card, buying a gift certificate, making
sure your loved ones are getting adjusted too, or going online and taking 1 minute of your time toward a national email campaign, you can make a difference in A LOT OF LIVES.

Much respect and a million thanks,

Heath McKinley, D.C.

Awesome turnout last (Thursday) night for “Supplement Your Health”.  I really hope everyone learned at least one thing they can do to make themselves more healthy and, even more important, live with more vitality!

We had some warriors this morning!  6:30 am is not easy, and it was great seeing so many of you who were here with me late last night.   It was a quick turnaround, and you made it, truely indicative of a bootcamp!
