Sounds pretty good too me.. You must be super fit. But please remember to stretch out all them muscles you don't want too build up of lactic acid.
But you go girl

To me it looks like an awful lot. But if the intensity is low enough and your cal intake and sleep are sufficient, then it's probably ok.

You're doing core every day.
You're doing lower body cardio every day (running, sprints, etc).

I'd wonder how much you can give to any 1 activity, which makes me wonder about the effectiveness/efficiency of the workout. To some extent, it's a matter of personal preference... but I typically suggest people pick 1 specific goal for the workout, then do things intended for that goal. Quality > quantity, IMO.
