Doing this will add a little fat burner to your workout and economize it too.
I would skip the 2 hours of cardio on Saturday and do 45 minutes of steady state cardio or something shorter but higher intensity. 2 hours is just overkill honestly. If you are just going to do steady state cardio on Saturday, legs on Friday is fine. If you plan on doing something a little more demanding I would move leg day. You can also move shoulders too Saturday and make it a 4th training day combined with cardio if you'd like to spend a little bit of time there.

Thanks Frank. For my Saturday the only reason I'm planning on all cardio and abs is that is the day my wife is coming to the Gym with me and those are her targets so I want to be able to support her, and 2 hours of slow and steady is going to be better than 45 minutes of intense for her. It will be 2 hours of light cardio I'm sure but I'm still planning on switching my legs/shoulders day and bi/back day.
I also did 25 pushups and 60 crunches yesterday morning. Feeling good already.
So tonight is chest and tri's! I'm psyched!
