Ok, so I'm writing a workout plan for my friend who's a girl. She is 18, 5'10'', 155 pounds. She is a beginner with weights but she can at least do steady cardio for a decent amount of time. Her goals are to lose fat and maybe add just a bit of muscle for the "toning" effect. She can work out twice from monday to friday, 1 hour each session but has unlimited weekend time. She has the gym right here on campus that has all the equipment possibly necessary.

So basically, my idea was for her to do a quick 30 minute full body workout during the 2 weekday sessions followed by 30 minutes of cardio and then do 40minutes-1 hour of cardio on saturday and sunday.

What do you think of this/ what should her workout routine look like? And with the diet should I advise her on a 20% deficit reduction?

I'd suggest that she go with Scooby's ---> Beginning Workout Plan. It calls for the full body workouts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but that can easily be altered for two weekdays and one weekend day.

And, of course, adjust the cardio time according to her availability and ability!

So I notice that there are only the 2 big compounds for upper body the big ab exercise and 1 big compound for lower body with no specifics targeting like the calves or the rear deltoids or whatever. I'm can see why this would be best but I'm not sure on the concept why can you either explain it or give me alink to the explanation?

Scooby explains the reasons for that workout there on that page.

You're welcome to plan any other type workout you please; you asked for suggestions, and I gave you mine. That's the workout I started with, and it served me well.
