Is this an okay exercise regimen?

Lately I have been doing whatever i feel like when i go to the gym, which hasn’t been working out very well with me. I have been researching HIIT and have come up with this exercise regimen based off what i have read.

week 1
Monday - Weights (I do very easy weights, and most are for upper body), HIIT on treadmill or bike for 20 minutes
Tuesday - very easy rest day, 30-45 minutes on treadmill or bike
Wednesday - Weights, HIIT on treadmill or bike for 20 minutes
Thursday - very easy rest day, 30-45 minutes on treadmill or bike
Friday - Weights, HIIT on treadmill or bike for 20 minutes
Saturday - very easy rest day, 30-45 minutes on treadmill or bike

week 2

Monday - Weights, running on treadmill and other cardio
Tuesday - very easy rest day, 30-45 minutes on treadmill or bike
Wednesday - Weights, running on treadmill and other cardio
Thursday - very easy rest day, 30-45 minutes on treadmill or bike
Friday - Weights, running on treadmill and other cardio
Saturday - very easy rest day, 30-45 minutes on treadmill or bike

And then repeat the process all over again for 6 weeks. Does this sound good, or should i just repeat week 1 over and over again? I like this idea better because week 2 gives me a chance to do other cardio then just running or bike.

Everything you mention is great, but for what? Are you trying to lose 100 pounds of fat? Gain 10 pounds of muscle? Get bigger arms? Improve your 100m?

Basically I am looking to get stronger, which I guess counts as gaining muscle. How much I’m not really sure, but I want to be able to do 10 pull ups without weight assist (right now I can do 10 with 70 weight assist). And I want to be able to run a couple of miles without killing myself. That’s why I am doing HIIT, I am hoping it improves my endurance.

"Weights" is pretty vague too. When you do your weight training sessions, make sure you try to rest as little as possible by using supersets, trisets and giant sets.

Many people pay attention solely to sets and reps when they should be paying more attention to tempo, rest and Rest:work ratio to achieve higher volume workouts in less time which will allow the body to stay in an anabolic state.

You're on the right track, get in the gym, get out of the gym, eat healthy, rest and repeat.
