Hi everyone! I was thinking about doing Jillian Michaels Body Revolution after I do the 30 day shred. I was wondering what weights do you use? for the whole program.

I mostly use pairs of small neoprene weights at 1.5kgs, 2kgs, 2.5kgs and 3kgs each. These tend to work for me for this particular program.0

She recommends 3s, 5s and 8's (also an exercise band). The first round I did with the 3s and 5s (I couldn't lift the 8s). The second round I did following her recommendations.0

I use mostly 8 and 10 pound weights. There are certain cardio routines I use 5 lb weights. The exercise band I increased through each phase.0

I completed Body revolution 3 times. The first time I used mainly 3lb and 5lb weights. 2nd time I used mostly 5 and 8lbers and the 3rd time I used 5, 8 and 10 lbs. I love, love, love this program and would reccomend it to anyone!!0

I just finished my fourth round. Started with 3's, 5's, 7's, 10's, and( for some exercises like rows and dead lifts) 12's. By my third round I tried using 20's for the heaviest weight exercises. I could do it, but not with good form, so now I max out at 15's. I usually hold 3's during the cardio moves whenever possible, as it gives a better burn. You'll probably want 2 cables, a light one as well as a heavy one. When you get to the 3rd circuit of Workout 5, you'll see why.

I'm using what I already have, which are 4s, 5s, 8s and 10s. I'm only in week 3, and haven't needed the 10s yet.0
