Body for Life Weight Routine

I know there isn't a lot of people on here entirely aquainted with the BFL program, but I had a few questions.  I'm not entirely following the program, just the exercise aspect, although i'm incorporating more proteins into my diet and eating 1600 cals a day.

As far as the exercise portion of the program goes, it has it set for 3, 45 minute weight training sessions a week, which i dont mind.  Im finding it hard though to find a 45 miunute time frame in a day to do it.  I was wondering if i split the session into two 20 minute sessions on those days if it would matter.  Im thinking that since im not following the system to the "T" anyway, its fine, but I was just curious.

As far as the actual calories burned during the exercise it will not matter.  What would be interesting to see is if it extended the 30+hr window that your body is active repairing your muscles after a work out, so instead of 30hrs it would be 42 if there were 12 hrs in between.  So it could have an even greater effect as far as total calories burned from the weight training.  Try it and let us know what changes it brings about.  As far as the split with out knowing the work out just find a logical place to split it up and go with it.

Its pretty basic.  Each 45 minute session focuses either on your lower or upper body muscle groups.  The upper body is biceps, triceps, back, shoulders, and chest.  The lower body workout is quads, hams, abs, and calves.  Each muscle group gets decreasing sets of 12,10,8, and 6 reps (of whatever exercise you choose that targets the area), with 1 minute rests in between, while increasing the weight with each set, then basically 24 reps at the "end" of the muscle group. 

It's pretty intense, thats why I like it.  I have lower body tomorrow, so I was wondering if it would matter if I did the quads and hams in the morning and the calves and abs at night, for instance.

There is also a 20 minute cardio thats done the other 3 days a week (you rest 1 day) and i do that in the morning.

Heres an example:

Mon-upper body

Tues-cardio

Wed-lower body

Thurs-cardio

Fri-upper body

Sat-cardio

Sun-rest

Mon-lower body

Etc....

I would do Quads and Calves then Hams and abs at night or the other way depending on the way you want to work it but keep the major muscles separate.  This should allow you to go all out and not have to save any energy for the next big muscle group.  The legs are a huge muscle group so spliting up the big muscles should be very benaficial. 

I did Body For Life, and I don't think that it would be any different to split the exercises up.  If you wanted to split the cardio part up, then that would be a different story. 

It makes sense to split them up, in a way, because there are some that would be easier to do at home (abs), whereas the others would be easier to do at a gym. 

If you wanted to, you could split all the exercises up and go workout 4 times per day, whatever is more convenient.  I think the same would go for upper body too.

Glad to see that someone is doing Body for Life.  I don't follow it completely, but I always do my weight training and cardio in the intervals that I learned from it.  I get toned much faster and burn many more calories.
