my girlfriend wants to tone up a bit. and considering we have different goals i'm not sure how to train her. i've finally convinced her that weights are good. and she likes the gym are the programs the same for girls and guys or is there something different i should give her ? :)
 
The program doesn't have to be any different

Main thing (initially at least) will be doing things that make it interesting for her.
(If you can convince her to do donkey calf raises it would be win win for everyone :D )
 
A frustrating dilema many men who workout face and one that is facing fitnesss marketers as we speak. My suggestion is to get her a copy of Oxygen Magazine, there a some great examples of women who weight train.
 
I had my wife doing a basic upper/lower split 3x a week with compound lifts after giving birth to our daughter. she was looking great in a bikini 5 months after birth (probably better shape than before) and she was deadlifting 70kgx8 at 45kgbw..

keep it simple IMO, female yes, but its still just the human body!!

ill make sure to chuck that in. big win for everyone haha
 
Find out her target areas, and probably get her to try out lots of machines. I know to lift heavy machines sometimes aren't the best, but it will be fun, and potentially very targeted where she likes. If she wants more of a cardiovascular workout those circuits can be fun, but depends how challenging and heavy she would go :) Goodluck man, I been trying to get mine in gym for ages, she just plays netball non-stop (not great for her knees).
 
hnnng girls who squat!

benching will make her tits bigger.

squats will make her ass look even better, they will also enhance her already good looking legs.

*note how you word it to make it always improving on something that is already good muhuhahahaha
+1 to bradders, its simple, easy to follow, half half between strength training and bodybuilding, would be a good introductory for said girlfriend
 
Squat 3 x 10
Bench press 3 x 8
Bent row 3 x 8
Military press 3 x 8
SLDL 3 x 8
BB curl 3 x 8

my girlfriend has finally agreed to this .. excited for her to see that it will work. taken weeks of convincing she isnt gonna get 'huge'.
 
*waits for her arms to swell up over the next couple workouts, and then complain that she's getting too big*
 
sorry the the late late reply it was going great squat/70/ mp/30/dead/100 but then all motivation dissapeared and now i've just finally gotten her back into it women -__-
