    I'm on Day 3 of Level 3, and I have been using 1.5kg weights. I think I'm going to buy some heavier ones for next time though but at the very beginning I started with 1lb weights!

    Awesome, thanks for your replies...today I am picking up my new dumbell tree which consists of weights from 2.2 lbs up to just under 10lbs!!! You have inspired me to increase as soon as I can!! :bigsmile:

    Someone else said, and I agree, it's a good idea to have a couple of different weights to choose from so you can choose one that is suitable for the exercise. For example you'll probably be able to use heavier weights for the chest flies than the side lunges with anterior raises.

    Yes, totally agree too, why I have ordered a set of various sizes, I find chest flies way to easy atm!!

    Oh my goodness! I feel like a total wimp!

    I'm on day 2 level 1 and I got some 1kg hand weight from Argos for about £6. They are fine for me, I can really feel it in my upper arms!

    Love the creativity of you wonderful ladies, and your determination too! You all rock!

    I'm going to go back to my baby weight now, close the curtains and do a bit more! Thanks for motivating me!!!

    I'm coming close to the end and I used 5lb weights all the way through! I LOVE the 30dayshred, it has made such a change to my body...I don't even do it every day! I do it about three or four times per week + run on alternating days :smile:

    I'm using 2.5's and 8's. On some circuits, I'll use 8 on the first set and then if I find my form failing, I'll move to 2.5 on the second. I need to get some 5's, but everytime I go to the store, they seem to be out. I have problems with form on the stationary lunges so i use the light weights, but I was using 20 free weights in the gym before. So now after I'm all done, I do some more heavier bicep curls on their own.

    I use 3 kilo weights. Can't quite get them up to my eyes though with those side lunges! :blushing:
