@thesolution Like others said, this too shall pass. Eventually your LO will sleep better and you won't be as tired. Physical activity is such a component of my mental health, that I think I worried about it too much when my kids were little. Now that they're 7 and 10, it all seems like yesterday. They've been on a similar schedule for at least 4 years and I'm able to get away a lot more and I don't feel as guilty if I'm not home for bedtime. (which, sometimes, is better for them as they get to sleep faster with hubby.)
I would suggest starting small - if you set aside a small amount of time 2-3x per week, it might be doable. Like, one afternoon and one evening do a 20-30 min. Youtube weight training or HIIT workout. Then you can also walk lots during the day with your kids. I used to have a jogger stroller with a kickstand on it that my older one could stand on if she got tired on my long walks.
Or do little bits here and there - that helps keep you motivated and boosts all those good endorphins.
And don't waste time feeling bad about not exercising - you'll taint all these wonderful memories you're making now
