    I have been using 3 pound weights. I have worked my way up to Level 3 Day 1. Hope this helps.

    I used the 5 pound weights. I got to a point on level 1 that I could use 8 pounds. But on level 2 I use the 5 pounds.

    2lbs for the first go-round, then we'll see. I don't want to go too heavy and disrupt my regular training.
  • I'm using 2lbs...I have no muscles at all so working my way in gradually!x

    I just did day 1 and I used 2.5 lbs. I don't see me moving up to heavier weights for quite a while!
  • I just did Day 1 today and used soup cans (about 1 lb each) to see how I felt. I'm going to go get 2 lb weights today. I want to make sure I completely do the exercises and not wimp out too much. Once I can get through the workout without feeling like death, I'll up it 1 lb each level.

    I hear the whole "feeling like death" part. Not sure yet if it's me feeling like death or wishing I could make Jillian feel like death after all the torture she puts me through. Probably a little bit of both :tongue:
