So starting next week I'm going to run 3 days a week for the rest of October to train for my 5K. That will be my cardio.

I will be doing strenth the days in between, but the problem is that I don't do well strength training on my own. I need someone or something (like an app) to tell me what to do and for how long.

What iPhone apps or DVD's would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

    I love Supreme 90 day... I have that and P90X and personally I prefer Supreme 90. All you need are some dumbbells and you can pop in the dvd and get your workout on!

    ETA: The best part is it's only 20 bucks!

    I just finished up Supreme 90 Day yesterday. I liked the weight DVDs. They aren't too long and I got great results. Plus, the entire program is $20. You could pick which ones you want to do or incorporate it with your running. I ran on my rest days of S90.

    I just did my first night of ChaLean Extreme which is lifting slow and heavy. Since I've only done one night, I can't say much about it. But I did get higher burns with S90 from what I have done.
