My workout consists of strength training, cardiovascular fitness and stretching or flexibility exercises. I usually break my muscle groups into different days with my weight training. For example, Monday and Thursday may be chest/triceps, Tuesday and Friday may be back/biceps and Wednesday and Saturday maybe legs/shoulders. I will stretch before my workout and also do anywhere from 20 - 30 minutes of cardio which may consist of eliptical or treadmill work. My workout lasts an hour.

We need to fine tune thier nutrition. Get them eating 5 - 6 smaller meals a day to keep the metabolism going. Lots of water and obvious workouts consising of strength training and cardiovascular exercise. I would like them working out 4 - 6 days a week of doing some form of movement. Be patient, but I would shoot for a 2 - 3 lb weight loss a week. Most likely do some circuit training where we alternate cardio and strength training during their workouts.
