If you only have 30 minutes per day is even worth working out? In this episode, I sat down with CeCe English & Jeff Chenault to discuss the benefits and application of optimizing your workouts if you only have 30 minutes per day. Are you going to win any bodybuilding competitions or become an Olympic weightlifter in 30 minutes per day - probably not - but you can gain benefit & muscle gain in 30 minutes per day.Topics Discussed:How many days should you workoutShould the frequency of workouts change?Intensity: cluster sets, supersets & tempoTimestamps:00:00 Intro01:30 Muscle Building04:57 Frequency And Organization 13:41 Workout Structure23:11 IntensityRed Dot Fitness Training Programs: https://www.rdftrainonline.comOnline membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/irons

In this episode, I sat down with Jeff Chenault and special guest Kyle Manzano with Manzano Tactical.  To open this episode, we got into Kyle's business and the origin story of the popular Manzano Tactical targets which have made their rounds around the world. Later in the episode the conversation shifts to gun laws that are coming to your state. It's been a wild couple months in California and there's some recent legislation that has passed through San Jose City Council that any firearms owner in the country should pay close attention to.  Tune in for education and entertainment on: Manzano Tactical, gun laws In California, politics, home ownership, the homeless problem in California & what to do about all the crazy!Timestamps:00:00 Intro, Manzano Tactical, Targets & Shooting Challenges13:14 2A Rights Under Fire14:45 What Just Happened In San Jose20:19 A meeting With The President22:03 The Fine System & Bogus Insurance Policies24:22 Pay To Play For CCW25:54 CCW Permits Allowed For Facebook/Meta28:31 Governmental Surveillance When You Purchase A Firearm33:23 The Paperwork of Buying A Firearm34:34 Gun Violence & Laws In San Jose35:58 Taxing Gun Owners45:17 How Strict Are The Gun Laws In California47:17 Would It Be Safer If Everyone Had A Gun?54:13 Homeless or Un-Housed?56:34 The Gun Debate57:26 Penal Codes In California1:00:47 Keeping Up with Gun Laws1:02:04 The Future of The Case1:06:20 California Spreads Cancer1:08:52 What Voting Changes1:12:23 Homelessness In San Jose1:21:57 Key Points & SummaryFollow Kyle ManzanoYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWde7yv9Ok1_hrbx4ED1VVQInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/manzano.tactical/Website: https://www.manzanotactical.com/Sponsors by Red Dot Fitness Online Training Programs:Red Dot Fitness Training Programs: https://www.rdftrainonline.comOnline membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ironsMore Iron Sights Interviews:Triple Feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMTc7AE0KaQ&t=384sKayley Gunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfGqHxCv7Vc&t=522sMike Salemi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq-Nj6M0EBI&t=335sAdam Schafer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiyrdWdO1y8&t=8sSal Di Stefano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBdKdSjQ0BM&t=4425sJason Khalipa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTiq-sID-EMByron Rodgers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrtEyuVNNpwDonnie Oliver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKY1_TLKHlIChris Cheng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr0zSGSTzKM&t=2sTraver Boehm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_NLdIg3zBc&t=1394s

This episode is about acknowledging, forming accountability and taking responsibility for the behaviors that are most detrimental to your health.  CeCe begins the episode discussing the root cause starting with the younger generation. She discusses body image issues as well as overcoming personal health issues in her own life in order to be a better mother. Arguably, there isn't a nation in the world that has more resources, research and accessibility when it comes to health than The United States.We discuss the roadblocks of getting healthy, the first steps to take & how to continue on a path of health & well-being. Being complacent is a choice. Laziness is a choice. Feeling comfortable is a choice. Limited time & finances are smokescreen excuses for a lifestyle that will lead you to your retirement going to medical bills. Physical Education is now optional, 75% of Americans are considered obese & people are still not making the choices and taking steps to overcome unhealthy behaviors. Sometimes the hard truth is what needs to be heard. You can't normalize what is UNHEALTHY and that's exactly what is happening right now.Sponsors by Red Dot Fitness Online Training Programs:Red Dot Fitness Training Programs: https://www.rdftrainonline.comOnline membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ironsMore Iron Sights Interviews:Triple Feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMTc7AE0KaQ&t=384sKayley Gunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfGqHxCv7Vc&t=522sMike Salemi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq-Nj6M0EBI&t=335sAdam Schafer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiyrdWdO1y8&t=8sSal Di Stefano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBdKdSjQ0BM&t=4425sJason Khalipa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTiq-sID-EMByron Rodgers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrtEyuVNNpwDonnie Oliver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKY1_TLKHlIChris Cheng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr0zSGSTzKM&t=2sTraver Boehm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_NLdIg3zBc&t=1394s
