geeze jen! you know that i will try to answer, but you have to give

me a bit of time to respond!

anyway, the first one off of the top of my head is 'strength training

for dummies' starring tracy york.

NOT to say that anyone is a 'dummy'... it is just a bad name for an

excellent video for absolute beginners.

another suggestion is kathy smith's 'secret of a great body' (2

workouts, 1 for upper, 1 for lower) and her 'lift weights to lose

weight'... i used both of those when i first started out.

after doing the kathy smith workouts, i progressed to the FIRM...

tracie long's 'maximum body shaping/sculpting' was a really good one

for my level of fitness at the time.

also, she will need 3 sets of weights to start with... i started with

1.5, 3 and 5 pound dumbells, or she can do the workouts without any

weight at all at first until she gets used to the form of the

exercises. also she can use things around the house for weights if

she doesnt want to buy any right now... bottles of water, canned

goods, books, etc.
