Idk if u cud answer this or not but will thin crust bbq chicken pizza make u gain weight?

and which kind of household exercises will tone arms?

Answer:

I sure can. Well remember that carbohydrates esp white ones are pretty empty in calories. Whole wheat is better. It also depends on how much pizza youre eating as well as if you are exercising or not. Remember that weight gain is equal to putting in more calories than you are burning. Usually you can find online the pizza youre eating and see how many calories it is per slice. Then you can do some cardio and burn that slice or slices right off based on the calories.

The key to looking lean and showing stomach muscles is cardio, cardio cardio! I suggest doing intervals instead of slow steady cardio. This way your body is burning more calories to the change in pace. So you can achieve more results in a shorter period of time. (LESS BORING TOO). So that means whatever type of cardio you choose pick time intervals to go hard then ease off, then hard again for at least 20mins-60minutes. You will see a leaner stomach faster this way. Also when you are sitting around at work, or school, driving etc practice tightening your stomach muscles on and off so youre constantly working those abdominal muscles and preventing weight gain.

Exercises that will tone arms in household would be pushups, pullups, using soup cans as weights and doing biceps curls or over head tricep pushup, wall pushups. You can also do front and side arm raises for your shoulders!

The Nike Pro Hyperwarm Crew. I love the colour of this one!

Q: Full Name/Nick Names (why)?
Patrick Robinson.  They call me "Pat The Roc" because I dribble the basketball so quick, it's like I'm "Patting" the ball!
Q: What is your  sport and why did you choose to pursue it?
Basketball is my passion! Been playing since I was 5. My mom taught my brother and I how to shoot, ever since then I loved the game.
Q: Who inspired you?
I was inspired by a guy that passed a message on to me which was 3 letters. "A.i.P." which stands for Anything is Possible! That message changed my life.
Q: What sets you apart from other athletes?
On the court, my creativity.  I can do just about anything with a basketball.  Off the court my positive message. I take advantage of my platform and try to inspire kids as much as possible.  I wish all athletes were that way.
Q: Favorite memory from your sport?
Playing in Africa in front of a sold out crowd. There were people watching the game hanging off the fence, from the trees, and literally surrounding the court. One of the most intense enviroments to hoop in!
Q: How do you train for your sport?
I have a regimen of running early in morning, usually 3 miles. Try to make atleast 1000 jumpshots a day, dribble drills 2 hours, weights/crossfit 1 hour, Hills/stairs, and one on one or 5 on 5.
Q: Fav drill?
Anything involving 2 basketballs! Dribbling one ball has become too easy!
Q: What does your typical workout include? Does it vary each day? How many days a week? Everyday I train.  I focus on different skills each day. One day may be legs, improving my hops.  Another day might be lots of pushups in between basketball drills to increase my strength. Depends on what I'm working on.
Q: Top 3 exercises you like to do in the gym?
Q: Any upcoming projects? Ballup tv show this summer on mtv2, movie "Note To Self" coming to BET, Pat The Roc Skills Academy Tour coming to a city near you!
Q: Where do you see yourself in the future? A guy that every basketball player in the world models theirselves after on and off the court.
Q: Words of wisdom to others or favorite quote....

Introducing the Minimus Cross-Trainer by New Balance.

Watch the review here: http://ow.ly/ep2gD. According to New Balance the Minimus 20v2 "brings barefoot-caliber performance to your gym and circuit workouts while still providing the protection and versatility of more traditional trainers." I also like New Balance shoes because they come in multiple widths for people with narrow to wide feet.

Available online:http://ow.ly/ep2kg or at your local NB store.
