Workout routine to put on weight?

I've recently started working out and I've honestly never really worked out before. But after reading it up some my routine right now is

Monday - Arms/Shoulders/Chest

Tuesday - Legs

Wednesday - Core

...and repeat and take Sunday off

I usually start off doing about a mile on the treadmill Is that good? too much or not enough?

My workout routine usually lasts about 45mins - an hour and I do 3 sets of 12.

So basically I'm wondering if this is a good routine or if it needs revamping if so please let me know what you would recommend in that kind of format like

Monday - This part of the body

I'm also wondering is working out 6 days a week fine can I do 7? Should I do less days?

- Thanks

    Yes,it is fine to work out 7 days a week,but you should allow yourself a day to rest,i work out as well,but i work my whole body for 6 of those days and then take a day off,for example ill do sit-ups and use dumbells and jog,and do push ups all in the same day (along with a good diet) and i am seeing results,i work out (or at least try to) 6 days a week,the exersice that you are doing is fine too,i dont really do hard work outs because im a girl,i dont want to be buff lol,so yea but you can cuntinue what you are doing,very good way to keep in shape,keep it up and you will see results in no time :) good luck.
