I've gotten into a fairly intense exercise regimen with my sister, and I was wondering what the fitness conscious among you think of it/ what suggestions you could give.

Every Day:

Cardio Prep:
Stretches (Sit and Reach, Cross overs, Stork Stand ect)
25 push ups
45 crunches (15 front, side, side)
25 Bunny hops
30 High Knees

1 Mile Run
1 Mile Elliptical
5 Mile Bike Ride

Every Other Day:

10 rep, 4 set curls
10r/4s set  tricep
10r/5s set hip exercises
10r/4s set chest/shoulders
10r/6s set glute, lower back

The Plan is to exercise every day of the week, all year, but only do weight lifting 3 to 4 times a week (alternating days)

Our Daily Diet is high protein, high leafy greens/veggies
medium amount of carbs, low fat = or < 2000 calories.

We also drink a fruit smoothie about an hour before workout time.  

Any suggestions out there?

sounds like a good idea all you need to add is something like jump rope to your cardio that way you have more variety

Teach only the ones that bubble
with interest because the others have no interest

What exactly are you looking to accomplish? Is this to lose weight, or to build muscle, or to maintain your current physique, or what? <p> Only concrete advice that I'll give that would be of benefit to anybody would be to switch the crunches out with inclined leg raises. Far easier on the back/neck. <p>

your workout is whole body ever other day, that doesnt do anything
you want to single out your muscle groups. this is very important
ie. tricep/bicep/shoulders day1; legs/lower back day2
also, i'm not sure about your fitness level, but 25 push ups doesn't do any thing at all. neither does 45 crunches.
push ups and crunches aren't usually considered cardio prep, they are very good workouts, however, and i suggest you swap em from your everyday cardio prep into your chest day. If you wanna keep the pushups and crunches effective, you need to go for sets, ie. 25x4

your cardio stuff sounds very impressive, there's no way in the world i can do the run and bike and all the stuff in one day.
BUT aside from the cardio, your described workout isn't intense at all, sorry if i sound like a dick.
if what i said sounds like too much, work your way up.
if you're going for muscle mass, higher weights, less reps
if you're going for lean muscle/endurance, lesser weights, more reps
but ALWAYS work sets into there. do 4 sets of 20 as opposed to 50 a pop once
hope that helped

your workout needs more variation, for example, widefront pushup, military pushup etc; or squats, wall sits, lunges etc
