workout routine for my lady

[number twelve]

i have seen a few similar threads on this but not many were very well mapped out. i go to the gym with my gf, but i notice she just kinda does whatever. she asked me to put together a routine for her. she is in good shape already, former volleyball player.

i made it so she goes 4 days a week and then does whatever cardio classes she wants on her off days (not including type 2 cardio which takes place daily )

i dont want to overwhelm her or discourage her. i love the fact she is showing interest... basically im wondering if this is too much too little or what...i found myself having trouble writing this out since my personal workout priciples arent exactly ideal for a female.

i made it like this...A/B/off repeat every week

Warm up on bike or elliptical for 5 – 10 mins

Workout A: Upper Body
• flat db bench 3 x 15
• one arm db row 3 x 12
• incline db bench 3 x 10
• cable rows 3 x 10 (wide or close grip)
• seated db press 3 x 10
• side lateral raises 1 x failure
• do whatever you want for arms

Workout B: Lower Body
o db lunges 3 x 15
o leg press or squats 3 x 10
o db step ups 3 x 15 or 10 mins stairmaster
o open/close legs thing 3 x 15
o calves 3 x 10

Do whatever preferred stomach exercises and 15-20 mins of cardio on the elliptical or treadmill at the end of both workouts.

i also wanted to note that im gonna have her to lat pulldowns from time to time, however, she has had shoulder injuries in the past and that movement irritates them.

women's largest muscle groups are much like men.. glutes, quads, and back can be developed very nicely..

just don't burn out her cns (central nervous system) and she will keep at it..

My wife does 1/2 of my routine with me, then goes and does cardio, that way we spend time together and are at the gym at the same time..

just a thought..
