I personally wouldn't do an hour of aerobic exercise. It can slow your metabolism. Focus more on weight lifting and muscle building. Phinney/Volek talk about this in their books and there were articles recently about how terrible the metabolisms of "Biggest Losers" participants are. Even worse than people who didn't do all that exercise and lost a lot of weight.

I do a little cardio (5-10 minutes before I lift and a class 1-2x a week) and then do my lifting. But I think you're quite likely to be disappointed that exercising really, really hard doesn't return the results you expect.
