Need help training a friend

[muchmass]

I have been weight training for the pas 15 years, and I have gained quite some experience from a guy’s point of vue. But recently one of my friends asked me to make her a exercise routine involving cardio and weight training, she is looking into training 4 times a week her stats are (these are approximations) 140lb 5’7’’ 25% bf

(As she is a novice to exercising) I was thinking about starting her with 3 full body weight sessions and 3 cardio sessions (following weight training) of 20-30min and 1 one more separate cardio session of 45min.

What are you thoughts about this plan? Any suggestions? Any specific exercises that I should include?

Thank you girls for the help!

What are her goals? To lose bf only....lose bf and gain muscle?

The plan you mentionned sounds good for now, since she is a beginner with the weights.

What's her diet going to look like? That's where the fat loss mostly comes from. We are what we eat

Also have her check out the book "Body for LIfe"
