Mrs Chi's first training plan

[chi]

I'm increasinly of the opinion that Mrs CHi spends too much time at the gym on cardio machines and what weights she lifts may not be entirely beneficial as they are usually a random selection of isolation exercises, in fact all her training is based on what she feels like doing and is devoid of structure.

This is my first attempt to work out a split for her, the goal being fat loss so i would assume high reps (3x10 maybe). There IS a lot of cardio in the plan compared to what we would do BUT there has to be that comprimise there for Mrs Chi to be interested. I've tried to keep things fairly simple.

Any help, suggestions, criticsms are all welcome.

1.
10mins X-trainers
Bulgarian Split Squats (surprisingly she has done these before)
DB OHP
Lat Pull Down
Core
10mins Bike

2.
10mins X-trainer
lunges
Press Ups
Seated Cable Row
Core
10mins Row

3.
10mins X-trainer
Squat and Press
chest flys
reverse flys
core
10mins stepper machine

I'd say if she's training for fat loss, she'd be better off with more cardio. Maybe only a two-day split (a lower, a push and a pull) with the 20 mins cardio you're suggesting (presumably at a pretty high intensity) but on the 3rd day just run / cycle / ski / whatever for 40-60mins? Could then just do some L-flies or something if she's got standard office worker posture.

Cheers 666 - to be fair she plays football with her staff team once a week and usually runs with me once a week as well. I was planning on upping the cardio at the end of each split to HIT once she got comfortable :)
