Hi all :) I've just started the 30 day shred - day 2 just completed. What weight should I be using for hand weights? Using 3kg at the moment which is pretty tough!!

    I bought 5lb weights at the same time I bought the DVD thinking that 5lbs would be no biggie but it is tough. When I'm doing those squat and presses, my shoulders BURNED! Try experimenting a bit to see if the weight is comfortable for you. If not, lower it down but don't go too low. You want to feel that burn because then you know it's working.

    pick a weight that you can lift with good form for 8-12 reps

    I had 3 , 5 amd 8 pound dumbells because I was stronger in some exercises than others. You should be able to finish all the reps and as you get stronger and dont find it a challenge you need to bump up the weight. Basically for the last 2 or 3 reps you should be feeling like you cant do anymore
