I recently lost my job so I have a lot of free time since I am taking some time off before seeking a new job. I was thinking about increasing my workouts and I need some opinions.

Day 1
AM Back and biceps
PM - Light cardio and Abs

Day 2
AM HITT

Day 3
AM Chest and triceps
PM Light Cardio and Abs

Day 4
AM HITT
PM Shoulders

Day 5
AM Legs
PM Light Cardio and Abs

Day 6
AM HIIT
PM Walking and Foreams

Day 7
Repeat above cycle.

My objective is to fill my afternoons with some form of exercise while avoiding overtraining with a light workout. I would like opinions on this. My other option would be a more intensive 4 day split with HIT in the PM and weights in the AM, resting every 3rd day.
 
seems a little light in my opinion. I think you need to go heavier with the every 3rd day off. Off days are not just for physical they are a very important part of staying mentally focused. It kind of gives you something to work for you can look forward to that off day rather than lifting every day and getting so sick of it you just quit all together.
 
Ok...I see what your thinking.

Firstly, switch all your HIIT sessions to PM. If you don't fancy that then do fasted cardio AM as opposed to HIIT. Thats the biggest point.

I'd put your shoulders in with your back day, and do your bi sets LAST on that day.

Now your looking at a push/pull/leg plan.

I'd keep your weights to PM as well, unless you can pack in some clean pasta say 60-90 minutes before you workout.

I'd also take day 6 and even possibly 7 as a total rest day. If you've worked your legs properly on day 5 you will want to rest them. If you have to do something, just go for a long slow walk. Bear in mind when I leave the gym after leg day I waddle somthing like a duck thats had a cactus rectally inserted and removed a few dozen times ;)
 
Thanks for the replies. Wes you're right it does seem a little light looking at it again. Fly your right I believe I would be better served doing fasted cardio in the AM and weights PM. Yes I waddle around myself after legs, LOL.

Put the shoulder presses with the pushing exercises obviously.

Not all shoulder exercises are pulling exercises.
