12, but they are too heavy for the (level one) arm raises. I also go to the gym and get quite a bit of the same type of workouts there, so I have been inconsistent doing the 30 DS. :ohwell:0

When you talk about the weight - is that for the pair or is that for EACH one?
each one. Im using a set (so 2) of 8lb weights.0 -
I started with 5lbs but I could barely raise them by the end of the workout.
I didnt want to buy any lower, so atm I am using 1.25ltr bottles of softdrink which weight 1.5 kgs (3lbs). After 6 days, I am almost ready to move back to 5lbs.0 -
i switch between 3's and 5s. i use 3's for a lot of it but 5's for chest flys and things - and in her other dvds i use the 5's for deadlifts and other moves.0

2kg each (4.4#) Too much for some moves, too little for others.
Yes, you may want to have a set of two weights OP cause I found the side lunge raises were crazy with 7lbs, had to use my 4lbs.
I had a set of 5s and 8s but can only find one of my 5s right now so I have to use my 8s. :ohwell: I agree those side lunge raises are super difficult with heavier weights lol
I hold one weight in both hands for those! Dunno if having my arms meeting makes the move 'bad form' but I get through it
It's always OK to do them for the side lunge raises one arm at a time.. I felt my shoulders, arms burning which is great but you can risk stopping or bad form like the poster above described0 -
8,12, and 20 lbs. each hand
wow 20?! thats awesome! :flowerforyou:0 -

I use 8lbs together and 14lbs together or 2 x 4lbs then 2 x 7lbs0 -
3, 5, and 10 depending on the exercise. By the end my 3lbs were collecting dust.0

I'm using cans of beans
but then, I'm just starting out. They're getting rather light at L1D5.
