4 weeks after giving birth is still very early to be doing any significant exercise. My midwife has a theory that newborns nurse so much for the first 4-6 weeks to make you sit down and rest enough.
I'd take it easy for another couple of weeks, then gradually get back into it. Believe me, if you allow yourself time, you'd be amazed how quickly fitness returns. I was skiing for six hours a day ten weeks after having my first baby.
I know you've heard it before, but sleep when your baby sleeps. It will be a while before you get a night of uninterrupted sleep, but even an hour here and two hours there all add up.
The big thing to focus on is your diet. That will make the most difference to losing the baby weight. Try to stock the kitchen with lots of easy to eat food that will improve your fitness, not hinder it. Ditch anything with sugar or white flour, make sure the fridge is stuffed with things like ready-to-grab salad munchies, chicken and meat, fish, cheese, fruit, etc.
Oatmeal doesn't have to be cooked. Soak it in milk and leave in the fridge for a couple of hours and it goes all sort and pudding-y. Grate some apple over it and top with natural yogurt for a quick meal.
