Another thing not mentioned is whether she's doing steady state cardio or interval style. Steady state does nothing to increase excess postexercise oxygen consumption(EPOC). So once you're done on the treadmill you're done burning calories. Only interval and resistance training increases EPOC.
Another thing is it looks like you're training her with the idea of not "getting her too bulky". Women just don't have the hormones to get bulky. If she's one of the rares ones that puts mass on easily it's easy to back off. That's like saying I don't want to do sprints, because I don't want to win a 100M gold medal. Joe Dowdell is a trainer in New York that has trained Victoria Secret models and SI Swimsuit Models. He has the girls doing deadlifts and squats, not "innie machine and leg presses". He has them pushing a Prowler sled while most women are on the treadmill.
yeah I dont care what race you are..what gender...what your weight or height is...or what your goals are...if you are training with weights...you need to be doing dead lifts and squats.
