Welcome Amber. Not quite sure what you are asking but I will try to help. If you are "new" to Body Building or weight training you can do either. Just start of with 3 days a week (Mon-Wed-Fri). Beginners should start with compound exercises (Bench Press, Pull Ups, Squats, Military Press, Bent over rows, Deadlifts (personally I think Deadlifts should come once you have a good idea of what you are doing to avoid injury) Curls, and ab work. It is possible to through that into a "complete" body work out but don't be in the gym for more then 1 1/2 hours. Your other choice is use a split like:

Monday: Upper body (Bench, Pull Ups, Military press, Bent Overs)
Wednesday: Lower Body (Squats, Deadlifts, calves)
Friday: Abs and cardio

Depending on your level of experience with weight training, you can do this for as little as 2 months before you can progress to a more "advance" split. The key when starting out is to target the big muscle groups:
Back
Chest
Quadriceps

Building these muscles with compound exercises will also incorporate supporting muscles like Triceps, Biceps, shoulders, etc. I hope this helps!
