totally agree. If you hate weights (I do) then do bodyweight/cardio exercises combined - bodyweight exercise also fab for the abs - better than sit ups! a 10 min really hardcore run - so you are completely out of breath is better than long and middle paced run/jog. Then body weight /strength exercises - lunges, squats, push ups, star jumps, burpees - 10 mins max interval training - so 50-60 secs full on, 10-20 sec rest - repeat for 10 mins.
I prescribe for your tiredness, mop and clean in the evening, lie in (well a relative lie in for you) fast run with doggie in the park - couple of push ups, star jumps etc, run home, shower and nice leisurely cuppa and toast
if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got
