To lose weight you must burn more calories than you consume...

weight training burns calories as well...how heavy she goes depends on her goals. worry about diet and cardio for losing fat.

Look at it this way:

Cardio or weightlifting will bump up the metabolism, make her body use more calories.

Weightlifting will also cause her to grow her muscles, and create a bigger caloric need.

Fat = dead weight, energy

Muscles = need energy

So make sure she's doing something every day.

One of the cardio sessions each week should IMO be shorter, and more intense.

She could try the recumbent bike with 8 intervals, one minute long and one minute long rest in between. Going at "decent speed" the first time, then trying to beat her personal record every time, slowly increasing her intensity on this session as her general fitness improves.

A general idea:

Mo weights
Tu longer walk, or easy cardio
wed weights
thu easy cardio
fri weights
sat intense cardio
sun easy cardio

If she wants any day off, she could do it during the easy cardio sessions, those sessions actually helps her to recover better from her workouts.

Length on the easier cardio could range from 15-60 minutes. All depending on her mood.

Better to do cardio for 15 minutes in the morning than not at all.

One simple thing to remember the more muscle you have the more you will burn fat.  Thats why many bodybuilders can eat pretty much what they want within reason. Me for instance eat pretty much what I want in the morning, afternoons watch my carb no sugar, weekends I can eat crap say on a sat, and still keep my abs showing and 9% body fat or less year round.  If I did not have the muscle there is no way I could keep fat low

The simple answer is that you should focus on daily cardio of at least 20 minutes continuous, or run a mile or two. Build up the intensity until it's high and rigorous.

Add to that 3 times a week weight training with exercises that hit all of the usual muscles, keeping the reps in the 15-20 rep range.


Add those to a good diet and you're in business.
