The Women's Health Big Book of Exercises might be good. It has full programs from Craig Ballantyne, Rachel Cosgrove, Val Waters, Jen Heath and more. It has an exhaustive list of exercises for every muscle group with instructions and just tons of info in general.
Also if she is not making visible gains as a begin er it may be time for her to look at diet. |

I don’t know of a spiral bound option, but check out books by Rachel Cosgrove and see if she could adapt them. Even though a gym is better for some exercises, generally the Cosgrove’s books have a home dumbbell or band option for just about everything, from what I remember. And they are definitely keyed in toward strength progression.
The main thing I would be careful of with someone that young is books that include a lot of nutrition advice. I haven’t come across many that don’t. Though these days, there is social media with everyone who has a nutrition opinion. With all that is online, it’s a little surprising but kind of nice that she is asking for a book! I have teens and I don’t think they go to books for information unless they are writing a paper for school or reading for fun. |

Another favorite of mine, which I am using now is: The Science of Strength Training by Austin Current. It's a DK Publishing book & I always enjoy and admire the depth of their content.
