Also you need them to do lots of cardio, to make sure they keep that muscle away and stay skinny.
This should be common knowledge.

Matt, you're KILLING me!!
It is great that you want to learn to improve your program design for women ... but, just like men, the program design needs to match the client's goals. Valerie Walter's stuff is great for women who want the "toned model/actress" look without defined muscles. If your client wants to look like an Oxygen covermodel, then the training would be different. If she is an athlete and cares about performance, different still.
Alwyn Cosgrove has a Program Design Bible which I think is good. If you are looking for resources. And if you want good solid info on fat loss, you can't do better than to read Leigh Peele's Fat Loss Troubleshooter.
