Eating is extremely important, both in general and after a workout. 5-9 1/2 cup servings of fruits and veggies daily. And vary the colors.
You need to recover within 45 minutes of a workout to get evrything in your system. A 4:1 ratio is best...then eat normally later. Acceleraide (spelling?) is good for that.
You may be overdoing it with your cardio - in terms of the level. Most people work out on cardio too hard, too often. I've posted else where - I think in a weight lost thread - with heart rate monitor tips. That's really the only way to measure cardio.
All the other stuff...stretching, etc., is right on target.
