I am doing basically this. Good workout and I like the reduced frequency for injury avoidance now I'm recovering from one.
 
Planned training this week is -

Monday - Cardio
Tuesday - Back/Cardio
Wednesday - Chest/cardio AM - CARDIO PM
Thursday - Cardio (AM and PM
Friday - Cardio (AM and PM)
Saturday - Legs/Cardio AM - Shoulders/cardio PM
Sunday - Arms/Cardio AM - Cardio PM


*** Was going to train (weights) today/tomorrow but I am needing to focus more on cardio for the next couple of days just to get things moving with my weight.

*** Will try and start training somethings twice a week which I think need more focus
