If she is motivated: It would be beneficial for her to eat healthfully ; be physically active. Calories burned must > calories consumed. She can mix ; match different kinds of physical exercise. This site can help her determine calories burned for over 100 activities: http://www.Prohealth.Com/weightloss/tools/exercise/calculator1_2.Cfm.
