She's going to be a little sore but there's no benefit whatsoever in pushing her to the point that she has major muscle aches for the rest of the week. I'd even suggest that it's counterproductive in any respect anyone cares to consider. One should always tailor a workout to the subject's level of conditioning.
Exactly! Great point!

10-12 reps per set is a good starting point.....as she becomes more advanced she can play around with all sorts of tweaks....
