I'd agree with Cal.
Although I never really hear of ladies on the Creatine for some reason...?
I'm guessing the water rention is something they avoid...?
Usual caveats apply though bootneck... Your missus won't beleive anything you say, they will prefer to do something thats in a magazine - because the magazine says women need to train differently, non of the other girls in the gym train that way etc etc etc The gym instructor told them to do behind the neck pulldowns so they must know more about kinesiology than you as they are a personal trainer etc etc etc
LOL.
Whatever program she goes on, keep it fairly intense. Warm up with cardio, cool down with cardio, a full body routine or a two day split should suffice, 8-12 rep range (I'm assuming they won't want to train for 'strength') - I tend to put the Mrs on machines rather than freeweights as its less setup time for her, and you can make progress of 2.5kgs per week on most machines.
