So your client has asked you to create a workout for her to do at home. This is great. Not every client can be a 2 times to the gym per week type client. It takes all different types of clients to fill your schedule. Just make sure she comes back to see you regularly and continue to update, evaluate and add to her workout design.
Here are the guidelines we give to our trainers when they are asked to create a client let workout design (keep in mind that every client is different and these are guidelines):

Fifth Session:

Review the entire program from start to finish to ensure the client has retained all information correctly. Be sure to quiz them regularly.
If the client is going to exercise on their own, schedule their reassessment appointment for 6-8 weeks from the first session to ensure continuous progress. We suggest that the reassessment phase be 2 sessions – enough time for you to make some good changes to their program to ensure they’re getting the results they want.
We also suggest you complete regular body composition reassessments – timing is dependent on the individual. Some people will be able to be reassessed every month and display significant change. Other people will need to wait 3+ months before a reassessment is completed to show any change.
