Feeling heavy around the edges? Take a hike.
A two-hour, unstrenuous hike can burn up to 600 calories — maybe more — depending on your weight, the incline and the difficulty of the trail. Plus, you're filling your lungs with fresh air. Can't beat that. Picks for weekend hikes: 'Aiea Loop Trail or Manoa Falls Trail. Both are easy and well-traveled. See www.hawaiitrails.org for more hikes.
FINAL WORD
" 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' is really rather exciting. But generally speaking ... I would never pick up one of my own books and read it."
