quick easy workout while the baby sleeps

   Life can't get any better than it is right now with my son. With so many trial and errors we have established a great routine very quickly. I had him sleeping through the night by 7-8 weeks old. Pretty exciting I must say, I mean who doesn't like sleep I know I do.  Since I enjoy sleep so much I have taken these last few months to crawl back in bed after his 7 a.m. feeding in which he eats and goes right back to sleep. God has blessed me with one amazing kid. Now that I have enjoyed sleeping in the last almost 5 months it's time to switch up my routine a bit.
    Starting this week I wanted to up my workouts a bit by getting in 2 workouts a day at least twice a week and extra cardio on my off days, which is a little challenging with bursitis in my right shoulder it limits me in a lot of upper body workouts. But taking my doctors advice (if it hurts don't do it) I have found a few light weight workouts I can do in order to keep my muscles strong over the next 2-3weeks. So today I woke up threw my gym clothes on, then Braxon woke up fed him put him back down and hit my garage for a quick gym session which consisted of :

100 jumping jacks
3 rounds of:
50 mountain climbers
20 sit ups
15 squats
3 rounds of:
20 15lb curls with dumbells
12 hammer curls
12 kettle bell swings with only 12lb and shoulder felt great

All in all a quick easy workout, followed by a protein filled breakfast 1 whole egg 3 egg whites with 1 piece of ezekial cinnamon raisin bread! And COFFEE with heavy whipping cream and honey to taste. First day up and going I might need caffeine all day to make it through my workout tonight.
I was able to watch my little guy my entire workout. He looks so peaceful
