Help training my girl – friend

Hello all, I have been lifting, eating, learning and patrolling the boards for quite some time now. Recently a close female friend of mine has started working with me and has taken an interest in getting fit. I go to the gym 5 days a week for weights (legs/chest/back/shoulders/arms split) during my lunch break. Then go in the afternoon for a cardio session usually 3 or 4 days a week (cutting atm). She see’s my dedication and knowledge of this lifestyle and wants me to help her out.

Why don’t I get her to see one of the personal trainers? They are useless at my gym. It’s a small old school gym with kids younger than me in bad shape giving out crappy routines.

Realistically she will go 3 days a week after work with me. Which will end up being 30 mins weights and then 30 mins cardio subject to change depending on the routine (squats can be a killer haha).

Her stats:
6ft (yeah she is a tall one)
66 – 68kg
She looks fine but has no muscle and wants to reduce her body fat. You know, tone is what the n00bs call it I believe. Since she has problems slouching due to her height I need to do some work on pulling her shoulders back too.

Can anyone here point me in the right direction for a basic split? Is training a woman to a man that much different? I wanted to do the basic compound exercises such as squats, bench, rows etc. I will avoid deadlifts until she has more experience too. I have already improved her diet and will work on that more.

So should I do:

Back/bi’s
Chest/tris
Legs

Or:

Upper body
Lower body

Or:

3 days full body

also what exercises would you recommend? Thanks in advance

Liddy will become famous soon enough. (+50)

If it's her first time with weights maybe try her out on a 3 day full body? There's heaps of info at stumptuous.com and also terracotta has a great begginer's website you can check out. (If you search for her username, it's in her sig).

And no she won't get massive.

thanks for the reply. I was having a look through that stumpuous website earlier today. haha yeah she even said "I dont want muscles I just want to tone". Oh if only it was that easy lol.

I think ill go for a full body split 3 days a week just to get her used to the exercises.
