West Coast vs East Coast

Good Morning NITRO NATION.

All the fun is not over, but the summers end brings with it the shift in priorities for all of us.

From yards and family vacations, gardening and kids activities to settling back into a routine that sees the school busses filling up the roadways. More time for YOU, the caregiver/provider/taxi/treetrimmer/poolboy/grillmaster/housepainter/carwasher/(You know the deal)has just a few more minutes each day than during summer months.

We finally got permission to send to everyone the article I spoke of last Thursday about NY Gov Spitzer creating a "Prevention Based Model" of healthcare system.
Better news in my lifetime as a fitness center owner, NO!
