Hi WineDeer
A lot of exercise experts will probably agree with your concept of splitting exercise in the manner that you mention - but I suggest that you do the 300 minutes of pure
cardio and see how it goes for a while. If you want to do the other sections - do it on top.
I find
cardio helps me best. As Mal mentioned - I am a PCOS lady. I struggled for decades with quite severe morbid obesity. I am finally (at 48) getting some really good
weight loss. I walk a lot. I am also very careful with my food.
If you have only just been diagnosed - there is every chance that your PCOS symptoms are not too severe yet. It you act quickly and lose weight I am sure that things will be a lot better for you. You can always concentrating on the toning up later.
There are quite a few other PCOS ladies on the forum. The most successful other member at losing weight is Abbagirl. She also spends a lot of time on her
treadmill.
We both find that excessive walking not only helps
weight loss a lot - it also makes us more tranquil.
Natalie Jo and Ambalove are also PCOS ladies.
Take care
Best wishes
