Like we all probably know, cross training is just as important as actually running in meeting your goals (no matter the sport). For my cross training (or weight lifting) days, I have been using the Full Fitness app. It is a great app for the following reasons:
- It is free!!!
- It has sports specific (e.g. Runner's Workout, Swimmer's Workout, Basketball Conditioning Workout) and goal specific (e.g. abdominal defining, arm workout, glutes defining programs)
- One can add and remove his/her own exercises to create a specific program.
Here are some examples from the Runner's workout that I have been using for my NYC Half Marathon training. Side note: I think that I am going to start alternating between the Runner's workout and the Glute Defining program. I am getting a little board with the Runner's Workout and it is good to shake things up for your muscles.
