Exercise Intensity. Each personâs metabolic rate -- the level at which you burn calories -- is different. This means you could exercise for 30 minutes on a treadmill at the same pace as another person and burn more or fewer calories. However, one way to ensure that you burn enough calories is to exercise at an appropriate intensity.
Norwegian Jade. Norwegian Jade is a cruise ship for Norwegian Cruise Line, originally built as the Pride of Hawaii for their NCL America division. She was christened in a ceremony at the San Pedro Pier in Los Angeles, California on May 22, 2006.
A dozen years ago, Laurel and I had made a weeklong circuit of the Hawaiian Islands on another classic ship, the Independence, a voyage now offered by Norwegian Cruise Line, but that only scratched, not stopped, the itch to reach Hawaii by sea. Finally, in February 2012, we sailed west from Los Angeles, Hawaii-bound. We would get there the slow-paced, traditional way: walking the deck, reading, staring at the sea, dining well, sipping martinis to the soothing sounds of cocktail piano. The sea air both relaxed and energized us.
