Default Training for a women? Heavy?

Ok, My girlfriend has been making it to the gym with me 4 days a week. I am very proud of her as she has never been in the gym before in her life and it is one of my hobbies so I am always there, or try to be atleast.

So far it has just been teaching her different lifts and how to do things correctly.

My question is,
When designing a routine for a woman, what is the best approach? I dont know if she needs to be lifting heavy for less reps or doing moderate weight/ mod. rep or light weight high reps......?

Her stats:
33yrs.
5'7"
106lbs
BF: Unknown

Training:
Fresh into it

Goals:
Build muscle and tone up.

I have been reading alot of articles trying to determine where to place her in a routine, but would like some real world opinions from real world women who are in the gym.

All opinions are much appreciated
