Best Full-Body Strength Workout for Female Runner?

http://www.runnersworld.com/workouts/ironstrength-workout is a workout specifically for runners (e.g., "the key to a happy running life is a strong butt") from Runner's World. It takes about 50 minutes (though you could skip segments to shorten it) and requires a set of hand weights. I've just started it (and am a weakling lady), but it kicks my behind.

burpees.

I've been liking the https://fitloop.co/ program a lot so far. It has videos to show you how to do everything, but after that you don't need to watch them every time. I really like that they have some exercise progressions instead of just adding more reps.

Seconding http://sworkit.com. I've been using it for years now, but it is still fresh as the exercises can be randomised every time. There are loads of ready-to-go workouts but you can also create your own or download custom ones too.

Lately I've been doing NTC (Nike Training Club) workouts from their app by the same name. Each workout is between 15-45 min and includes some stretching at the end. I LOVE this app because it has a wide variety of individual moves that are incorporated into prefab workouts that you choose based on goals (get lean, get strong, get toned etc) and experience level that take all the guesswork out of a workout routine. The interface is easy to use and nice to look at. Each "move" has both step by step photos and a video to explain how they work and you can customize workouts by swapping moves for something similar. Once you actually select and start a workout, the app provides both audio and visual cues to guide you through the entire thing, and, at any time during the workout you can pause to view the instructional video for the particular movement you're on. A voice tells you which moves to do next, how much time you have remaining in your intervals, and will give helpful hints along the way. This aspect of it is huge for me, because if I'm left to my own devices I tend to dilly dally and noodle about and won't get as great a cardiovascular benefit from my training as when someone us telling me what to do (even if that someone happens to be a robot). Oh, and it's free. All workouts require no more than a medicine ball and/or dumbbell but a ton of the movements are body weight. I'm decently in shape, run HIIT sprints a few times a week, and a 30 min beginner level NTC Get Strong workout slayed me in a good way. I haven't had a non-running workout that intense since working with a personal trainer years ago.

Maybe check out Fitness Blender (fitnessblender.com)? They have a TON of full-body, equipment-free workout videos on their website in the vicinity of 30-40 minutes, and there's no fee to access them. Good luck!

Thanks everybody, for the no- and minimal-equipment workout link suggestions. I'd love to hear more, as well as any of your own concoctions. The only thing is that I can't do anything with video. I plan to be watching a show while I'm working out, which is why I wanted to stick to around 40 mins (the length of a show). And I just hate workout videos in general, though obviously they're great for a lot of people.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned yoga yet. Yoga can be very good for strength-building and all you need is a mat. If you have an iPhone or iPad, I highly recommend the Yoga Studio app, it has a few built-in classes that focus specifically on strength (as well as a few classes of "yoga for runners").

Born Fitness has a great post on http://www.bornfitness.com/how-to-build-the-perfect-bodyweight-workout/. http://www.alkavadlo.com/ is a big name in bodyweight workouts. He has some http://www.alkavadlo.com/2011/05/11/minimal-equipment-workouts/ on his blog, and http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/al-kavadlo.html. If you're looking for programs designed by women, Jen Sinkler has released a program called http://www.liftweightsfaster.com/. It's not free, but it does go on sale occasionally. The program has 130 workouts (written, no videos to watch), broken down by equipment available (bodyweight only, minimal equipment, dumbells, kettlebells, barbells, or full gym) and by time (10, 20 or 30+ minutes). She recently published a variety of 12-week scheduling for the workouts, for minimal equipment use or to accompany additional training. I would describe the workouts as cardio strength training circuits. You can find a http://www.jensinkler.com/rock-n-roll-workout/ of http://www.jensinkler.com/hot-hibernation/ http://www.jensinkler.com/stomp-the-yard/ on her blog. I personally love these and they're perfect for my minimal equipment, home-based workouts! You can get a lot done with some adjustable dumbells and/or kettlebells at home.
