I dnt own any weights and cnt afford to get any right now so will be using a can of veggies for each hand. I know that cnt be more than what..a pound in each hand. Will it still be as effective..or even worth doing the shred?

    When I first started it the very first time I did not have weights at all, I still did the movements, then I added cans! :) I think some weight is better than none. PS I found my weights at the dollar store! No joke! 2 bucks and I had weights!

    I was going to ask about weights.. I use 5 & 3 lb hand weights (Sadly.. depending on the move).

    What does everyone else use??

    Same as you, and the 5 pounders are killers! Especially during those V lift ones.

    Yeah the 5lbs ones are really hard on some of the moves.
    Squat presses and Hand Raise Lunges.. I start with 5lb but always have to switch.
    But, Static lunge bicep curl and Chest fly's.. ABSOLUTELY!! =D


    Not sure what you mean by V lift..

    I'm probably calling it the wrong thing but it's in workout 2. She does a chair squat with what I think is called a V lift. Hands at your waist, palms forward and lift up to your eye level. They are painful.

    Yes I remember parts of Workout 2.
    Pretty sure that's the Squat w/ Wide Row

    Will definitely be using the 3lbs on those =D

    I also have 3 lb and 5 lb weights for the video. I will probably keep it at 3 lb for a few days.
