The top of my legs are by far the most sore...how about you girls?

I don't have hand weights so I'm just using cans for now. Probably less than 2 lbs...but it's something. What are you girls using?

    So funny. for the past couple of days I too have been using cans. Mine are just under 3 lbs, but I figure it si better than nothing. And yes, my legs and butt are by far the most sore so far.

    Keep it up fellow shredders! We can do it!!

  • Legs, hips and lower back.

    pec area/shoulders are sore.....i'm using 5 and 8 lb weights depending on the exercise
  • Only Day 3 for me. My arms and shoulders really feel owie. My upperbody strength is so pitiful that I can barely do a pushup. Day 1 I counted it if I could get the girls off of the floor!

    I am using 2 lb weights, but hope to upgrade when I stop feeling like I want to die/hurl/pass out during curcuit 2. I will say that I definitely notice an improvement even during a short period of time. The most glaring is the fact that I can cheat less during the workout and that my knees feel stronger. I will persevere!

    I was using cans too until yesterday . . I got some 3lb (1.3kg) hand weights and boy did I notice a difference!

    My sorest part by far as of yesterday is my lower abs . . . had me doubled over yesterday with the pain. My old gym instructor told me I'd discovered my core LOL!!!

    Hopefully that means I'll shift a bit of my tummy flab!!!

    LOL... I guess my arms aren't as sore b/c I'm doing sissy can weights!! I'll have to get some real weights to feel the pain some more. I really need to tighten up my arms so this will be good...can't stand that flab!

    my legs felt it almost immediatly. After doing the workout yesterday I walked downstairs to my living room and going down the steps my legs felt like iron. LOL feeling it today too.
  • Definitely my legs. I can feel it most when I go up the stairs.
    I'm also a can user so maybe when I get the 3lb weights I ordered things will be different.

    Inner thighs (hate that side lunge but apparently need it). I am using 5 lbs but am thinking abut going up to 8 on some exercises.

    I'm using 3lb weights and so far they're perfect on everything except the chest flies.. I feel like I'm cheating or something because they're too easy. lol

    And I get pretty sore all over, but mostly it's my quads from all those squats. The first couple days, it was my chest/shoulders.. probably from my pathetic attempts at modifed push ups ;) It's getting easier though!
