Looking for a fitness-resolution motivator? Respected Honolulu personal trainer Glynis Ramirez highly recommends her clients read "Younger Next Year" and "Younger Next Year for Women" ($12.95, by Chris Crowley and Henry S. Lodge, M.D., Workman, www.workman.com), both now out in paperback.

The premise is simple: 70 percent of "normal" aging (weakness, sore joints, apathy) is optional and 50 percent of all illnesses associated with aging (heart attacks, diabetes, broken bones) can be eliminated. The seven rules outlined in the book cover exercise, nutrition and emotional connection.

    FINAL WORD

    "We're just normal guys who are doing what we've always wanted to do and what we love to do. ... I've never been a solo artist. When the band doesn't get the credit that they deserve, it kind of bums me out a little bit."
