Hey everyone!
I'm going to start the 30 day shred tomorrow but the only hand weights I have are 5 lbs and I think I should start with 3s or 2s. Does anyone know where I can go in NYC (I'm in midtown Manhattan so I'm pretty close to anything on the island) to get them today? I know most people usually order them but I just realized that if I used my 5s that I'd die so I'd love to find somewhere I can get them before tomorrow.
Thanks!

Just use google maps and type in "sporting good store near" and put your address. It'll definitely list a few near you. Also, if you have plastic water bottles, fill them up with water and use those as light weights until you get actual ones. 5 lbs might not be too much for some of the exercises. By halfway thru Level 1, I was using only my 5 lb weights.0

I brought mines at Target. You can also go to Walmart.0

There is a Modells next to Grand Central Station on 42nd st. They have pretty cheap hand weights. :
(right off Vanderbilt.. but as far as major streets go, its between 5 ave and lexington if I remember correctly. )0 -
Dance stores (Capezio, Danskin) also carry 3 lb weights sometimes. Check if one of those is near you if there are no sports stores listed nearby.0

Awesome! Thanks guys! The water bottle idea is really good! I also went to their site and there is a Modells in Times Square which is even closer to me! And they have 7$ 3 lb wrist weights! Whoo Hoo! You guys rock :-)0

That is so funny I always figured it would be easy to find anything you want in NYC, but I guess if you don't know where to look. I live out in the wilderness compared to you, if I were to ever walk to a store it would be a marathon!0
