Please read my “started on july 30th- I do 3+ of your workouts 7 times a week, 30 minutes of cardio 6-7 times a week, 15 minute strength training with weights 5-7 times a week. I aim to eat 1,200 calories but I know I eat a bit more. Will this work? I know you aren't a certified doctor or nutritionist but you seem to know a lot.”
Give yourself a rest day once a week. Your mind needs the rest, and your muscles need a day to repair and heal.
Up your calories. 1,200 is the bare minimum for an adult woman to function, and that’s without exercise. If you’re burning off all of the calories you’re eating, your body has none left over to repair damaged tissues and muscles, feed your brain, etc.
I’d also suggest reworking your workout order. Try to do cardio 5 times a week, weight-training 3-5 times a week (target a group of muscles each time, and alternate them), and bodyweight exercises when you can’t get to the gym for weights and machines.
