Was looking to see if anybody knows of any good gym workout apps that basically plan your workout for you a few times a week. I'm looking for a full body workout, but something to compliment my running 4-5 times a week. Any suggestions are appreciated or tips on training as this is my first half! Thanks!

    while training for an endurance event, you should be concentrating on the running. if you don't have a plan, i suggest googling New York Road Runners Half Marathon training. they have several plans.

    to get in some cardio cross training, try cycling or a spin class, or swimming. i love swimming after my long run days because it aids with recovery. and it helps develop my chest and arms as well

    i have yet to find an app that puts together a good circuit for me. but if you want to design a 5-6 exercise circuit for yourself, i recommend incorporating the following exercises- dead lift, squat, front squat, overhead press, push ups, pull ups, dips, kettlebell swings, box jumps, lunges, and power cleans.
