Structuring a workout program

Nevetharine

Hi everyone.

My question is about how to set up a workout program for 5 days a week.

I unfortunately do not have access to a gym or any workout equipment, just my own bodyweight, which is fine with me. I have a huge selection of bodyweight workouts for different fitness levels.

They cover all areas of the body and I can choose between upper body, core, lower body or fullbody.

They are also conveniently labelled according to focus:
Stretching (yoga-ish but not neccessarily)
High burn (HIIT or cardio)
Strength

So as far as workouts go, I'm covered. But I need a program. How would you suggest I structure a program for 5 workouts a week of about 30 minutes? This is for fat loss and building strength(or toning if that's what you want to call it).

Also, how do you log a HIIT workout? Aerobics?

Diet-wise I'm also covered, these are the only things I'm having trouble with.

If it were me, I would do strength 3x/week, cardio 2x/week, and flexibility 2x/week

ex. Sat/Tu/Th - strength (either 3 full body or 2 upper and 1 lower) plus core
Sun/Wed - cardio
Mon/Fri - flex

But that's just what I would do, I like to keep things pretty balanced and I consider flex days to be pretty much rest days so I don't ever take any days where I don't workout unless it just becomes a time/schedule problem. I log all my workouts as 1 calorie since I don't want to add any extra food for workouts.

You log a HIIT workout as whatever you did. Mine go in as cycling.
