    3 pounds, 8 would kill me. I would do 5 max.

    About two pounds each, but I think some of the exercises (e.g. chest fly) could go heavier.

    I'm using 5 pounders and I have a little bit of trouble with the chair squats/arm raises (level 2). The side lunges on level 1 were killer too.

    I use 3's because it's a situation where it's high-rep and supposedly you're doing it everyday (I don't - just when I can't get to the gym). In a normal free-weight situation I, I use 10's.

    I did my first 30DS L1D1 today and used 5 lbs... simply because we don't have anything larger or smaller. I'm glad ... my arms hurt like a ****!


    Question, would it be bad to do 30DS twice in one day?

    1.5 kg (3.3 lbs). For some stuff they seem kind of light, but by the end I am definitely feeling it (I'm on day 2 of level 2). This is my first go at 30 DS, but thinking I *may* go to 5 lb. the next time around.


    8 lbs??? :noway: You are bad-a** ! :flowerforyou:

    Right now I'm using 2 lb weights as I'm just starting out. I could use some heavier ones on some of the exercises. I'm only on Level 1. We'll see how I feel when I hit Level 2.

    I use 3s for shoulder exercises and either 5s or 8s for everything else.

    Exactly! LOL I am using 2 pounds and feel they are a little light for some of the exercises. I'm only on level 1, and my hubby and I do it almost every day. I only skip when I'm taking yoga classes in the evening, instead. I may go up to 3 pounds for the next level.

    Don't laugh, but we don't own weights so my husband and I use a couple of Harry Potter books each. Specifically books 4-7 as they're the heaviest.

    I am on day 8 of L1 and I use 3.3lbs. I agree with some that the chest flies I could go up to my 6lbs but all of the other exercises even 3.3 kills me. lol I am so scared to start L2.

    Side note- Quick question for everyone doing this... I was steadily loosing weight prior to starting 30DS and now the scale isn't budging. I was really consistent in my weight loss before and I know I am toning my muscles but since I failed to take measurements prior to starting, it seems like I am idling. lol Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

    your body is tightening up. Dont worry about the scale, you will tone up and lose inches! I love the 30 day shred, it really targets body all over especially in the midsection!
