I know there's weight training involved in this program (which is what I'm looking for), so what weights are needed? I've heard some say they bought the interchangeable weights to go along with this program to mix it up. Are multiple sized weights needed for it? I have 3, 5 and 10 pound weights and that's it. I can buy more, I'm just trying to get an idea of how this program works.

    That's what I started out with but I quickly realized that I was going to need more weights. I bought an interchangeable set from Sears and I like them. I'm already at 25 lbs for some of the leg moves and 15/20 for the arm ones. If you can afford it, I would get a set. The bands aren't a joke either but I prefer the weights.

    A LOT OF WEIGHTS!

    The one's she uses are about $200 b/c they are the click kind that you can adjust up to 50 lbs or so.

    Get some 5's and 10's for a while so thats about a $35+ start up cost or even a $10 band to get some resistance going.

    I also have the SelectTech weights. There are brands that are cheaper out there that don’t go up as heavy, but I am also already up to 25 lbs for some (meaning 25 lbs each, so 50 lbs total).

    A good set of resistance bands would work great as well and are definitely cheaper. She shows you exactly how to use them for each set.
