I don't have specific programs, but maybe you could try more plyometric programs or pilates if they don't want to do much weight training

If they're wanting to get into "better than average shape" they're going to have to commit to something on some level...this just goes without saying.

As for their workouts when they're first starting out, keep the intensity high, full body workouts 3 days per wk usually works great in the beginning.

Each workout have them complete at least 1 push and 1 pull exercise, as well as one leg and 1 exercise for bi's and tri's. On each of these workouts, you do one exercise from these groups but on one day you will put more emphasis say on legs, the next time more on back and chest and the 3rd day more on shoulders and arms.

With each training session implement fast paced training full of things like squat jumps, box jumps, card squats, superset lifts with ab work, etc. Keep the pace fast with very little rest.

Implement basic things like pushups and planks/bridge but add twist to them. For example, with pushups have them lower their bodies with a slow 4 count, hold for 1-2 seconds and explode up. For planks, have them hold for a 4 count at the top, then lower their bodies to the floor and explode up. With both these exercises, make sure you emphasize keeping the butt and abs tight throughout. Emphasize this on all lifts/exercises.

Diet, check out the probodybuilding.com beginners diet for females, the beginners training routine should also help you out.

My suggestin is this,
* Running Time: 30 minut
* Description: Federica Giglio is a young fitness girl. Consider we shot this video one day after her 19th birthday. She has never shot for any company and we are very very glad to have been the first to start a collaboration with her. Federica workouts often inside the gym where she works as a trainer. She is from Rome Italy. She starts as a swimmer and then loves bodybuilding. In this movie you can see some exercises about triceps, biceps, pectorals and the upper body in general, even if, at the end, there will be poses and exercises for calves too.

There is nothing better than a bodybuilding regimen for an overall pleasing aesthetich look. You dont have to develope muscles as some of the more advanced woen do, you can tailor your workouts / diets to your individual goals. I do agree with the poster before who mentions hat SOME level of commitment will be needed, and i think in the end would be very much appreciated by the girls when they see their results.
