My high needs dd is now 21 months old, and I'm just now getting back into an active routine. Pre-pregnancy I worked out 3 times a week. While that is unrealistic now, I do try to carve out some time to get out and go 'power' walking. I usually need to do this on the weekend, when dh is around to be with dd. I usually put dd and dh down for their naps, and then know I have about an hour or 90 minutes to exercise. Some days I stay at home and do just stretching or yoga.
Another 'solution' that dh and I have found works well is to go to the swimming pool. Dh takes dd to the children's/Baby pool, and plays with her while I do laps in the adult pool. If she starts to get fussy, I'm right there where she can see me, or can take her if she doesn't calm down.
You could try to do a workout to a video at home?
Just some ideas. Good luck! I am feeling wonderful now that I'm active again. It makes a BIG difference in how I react to dd sometimes and to my level of fatigue.
