    So just wondering what size weights everyone is using?? I used my 8s for most 5s for the lateral raises and the ones you do the chair squat with and 3s for the warrior pose.

    are you on workout 8? man, the warrior pose is terrible! i tried it with 5 lbs today and had to drop one dumbbell on the second round. i try to use 10 for heavy, 8 for medium, and 5 for light, but on some things like the lat pulldown thing or whatever when you're in bridge, i had to REALLY push to use 8s today even though she said get your heavy weights (i know 8 is heavy in the program)... my arms, chest/sides, and abs are SO SORE from workout 7. i love it.

    Workout 7 Rocks!

    No she just said that you could add in weights if you wanted more of a challenge, so I used my 3s and almost died but I did it!! OMG I am using the same weights as you for light, med, and heavy I don't know if I will be able to do it with 5s...

    Just bumped it up to 8s. I used 5s for Weeks 1 & 2.

    BIG difference with heavier weights!!
