Thanks sooo much everyone! Lots of great info without overwhelming me here. That's really appreciated. I still have to read the stretching and flexibility article IK posted, but I think I understand most of what she should be doing. Right now she's hitting the treadmill 6 days a week for 1 hour. From what I've read, would the following be a good starting point to get her into lifting? Just sticking with 2 workouts a week.
Monday
3x5 Lunges (dumbbell)
3x5 Bench Press
1x5 Deadlift
Tuesday
Dynamic Streches
Treadmill

Wednesday

Thursday

Obviously I'll be starting her at VERY light weights and working on form. Removing squats for now should be good because I think she can pick everything else up without too much problem. I just need to read that article and then really make sure she stays consistent with the stretching.
Again, thanks for the help. And please let me know if there's any changes I should make to the program.
