That's not a bad routine, but depending on your goals, cardio isn't super necessary, at least at night intensities like sprinting for example. Definitely wanna do at least twice a week though. OP outlines roughy 6 movement patterns- vertical push (overhead press) horizontal push (bench press) vertical pull (pull up/Lat pull down) horizontal pull (row) squat (squats or lunge) and hinge (deadlift or hip thrust). For a beginner, you don't wanna put too much on your plate, just get accustomed and comfortable with things. I like to suggest choose one push, one pull, and one lower body for one day, then the rest for another. You can work up to three days, alternating between the three movements, eventually doing all 6 each session. Eventually you'll get so strong that the weight you'll be using will be too much to make it through all 6 though, and that's when you'll consider breaking things into different splits.
