I am now taking a break from running and my coach wants be to do full body workouts every other day until the end of July. Can you guys please give some exercises for each part of the body (arms, abs, legs)? I want a good list so I am changing things up.
cock pushups.
if you truly want to become a better runner or even a better athlete, then you can make a workout yourself:

This may help. "The New Rules of Lifting: Six Basic Moves for Maximum Muscle" -
https://www.amazon.com/New-Rules-Lifting-Life-Muscle-Building-ebook/dp/B0074VTHIY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1497933183&sr=8-2&keywords=new+rules+of+lifting- identifies six basic movements:
for upper body:
1. push
2 pull (e.g., chin-ups and pull-ups (which are great))
for mid-section:
3. twist (I think this could be torsional as well as a fold, if I recall)
for legs:
4. lunge
5. squat
6. hinge (e.g., deadlift)
For 5 & 6, I use a hex-bar, also known as a trap-bar, and the lift is a hybrid squat-deadlift, but to me it seems much safer than a back squat (weight loaded on the back) and doesn't scrape your shins or anything else the way a traditional deadlift might:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFI2Olip6OEThese are basic movements and there are many, many ways to perform them. A trainer once told me he believes there is a seventh basic movement: gait. That can be performed via walking or running.
I try to organize my strength training according to such a framework and work all the basic movements about equally. I typically do a weight workout on Tuesday, a body weight/balance workout on Thursday, and a medicine ball/jumps (ballistic and plyometric) on Saturday or Sunday.
Don't forget pelvic exercises and those hips... real important
Welcome back with your standard reply, the correct response.

I'd think that your coach should be providing such workouts.
