Miriam,
I’m so glad to hear you like my blog and find it inspiring.
And I’m happy to hear you started getting healthy.
Problems with thyroid are so common these days (unfortunately) and I bet you already know that eating healthy and avoiding junks is crutial in a health condition like this.
Also, have you checked out my nutrition plan?
If not, head on to get it right now! It will help you get healthy, fall in love with healthy food and setting your mind on healthy mode.

Hi Kammy,
One hour is just fine, keep going!
It’s better to have alternative cardio days, if you cannot squeeze in extra cardio workout right after your strength training. So, again, you’re doing a great job, just keep going! :)
All the best!!!

I have recently started working out and I do my strenght training and cardio on alternate days. Is that OK? Pls note that I have only 1 hour for workout.

Hi. You mention in one sentence that cardio should follow strength training in a very matter of fact manner. However you have not given any explanation or any reasoning as to why this should be done. – What benefit do you get out of this?

No no, I may have said it wrong.. You do warm up, but that’s 5-10 minutes. And the cardio comes after your strength training, and lasts at least 20 minutes. You’re doing it right with the warm up, just skip the pre workout stretching (if you stretch), but the warm up is just fine.
All the best
