I have two small children that I raise while both me and my wife are working 40 hours per week. Trust me, there is no time for the exercise that you describe.

I'm not buying it. I had a kid (he's grown and moved out) and managed to exercise. I rode my bike to work. I coached his football and basketball teams. I squeezed in weights on my lunch hour. I ran or cycled a few hours early Saturday, before the rest of the family was ready to do things.

Same holds true for friends that have young kids today. One parent runs/cycles while the other helps with homework. Yoga at 5am. Treadmills or stationary bikes to squeeze in workouts whenever possible (after kids are in bed).

Good for you. Not all kids are the same. My 6 month old barely lets me sleep at night.

Sure. But, your 6 month old will soon grow out of that, be a toddler, and not much later a kid, preteen, etc. You aren't doomed to 18-22 years of sedentary life simply because there's a small human in your household. For most of that span of time, you will have to make time for exercise, but it's possible with planning.
