TTC girl and probably over thinking it!

Hopefully this gets posted where it needs to be. After months of lurking iv read a lot of information on ttc girl however I’m perplexed on something.
I’ve resigned myself to the fact that exercising 6x a week 60 mins is the best for the sway however I have been avoiding it as I’m not sure I can commit myself. For weeks iv been focusing on skipping breakfast and eating less and thinking I was going the ‘couch potato’ route. BUUUUT I suddenly thought, I’m not really a ‘couch potato’ person as everyday, at least twice a day I’m out pushing the pram, running around parks with my 19 month old son and so on. I rarely sit still. I’m worried now that all that type of ‘exercise’ is therefore team BLUE because it’s stop and start and dependant on what my child wants to do. It’s never 60 mins of non stop cardio.
So now I’m worried. Do I have to now do the 60 mins cardio a day in addition to this in order to cancel out the BLUE-esque exercise and give PINK a fighting chance?
Anybody with some ideas or answers? I’d greatly appreciate it

I don't really recommend couch potato any more because exercise has been so overwhelmingly successful.

Please continue living your life as normal. Take your son out and about, keep busy, don't worry about the effect on your sway. It is fine and in fact it is imperative to continue to live as normally as you possibly can.

What I want you to do is if at all possible to add in 4 days of 60 min. exercise, do that. Don't worry about getting 6-7 days a week, 4 and up has been shown effective. And if you can't, let it go but don't alter your normal activity level for the sway. Couch potato has really not worked and the worst case scenario is people sitting around their house dwelling on their sway all day every day. Keep living as normally as possible and if that includes some minor exercise so be it.
