    You will need some hand weights. I started with 2 pounds then worked up to 5 and so on. You could start with a 16oz can from your pantry depending on your present fitness level. It's a fun workout....I like that it's time efficient!

    i'm completing the program right now. I just finished day 22. You'll neet a mat if you're exercising on a hard surface & you'll need hand weights, but that's it. I find i'm most effective with 3lb weights.

    I have 3 pound hand weights. You can effectively do it with no weights if you remember to clench those muscles. If I do round 2, I will get 5 pound weights.

    The selling point for me is that its only 20 mins! Which means I could do it 2/3 times a week. Will try find my old weights

    Thanks all. Im getting some weight today :)

    My hubby is dubious as he says 20 mins isnt enough to burn calories!!! Ah well will just have to show him :)


    How would u log this as exercise?

    I log it under circuit training. According to my HRM I burn around 300 cals on level one and around 350 on lebels 2 and 3. It is only 20 mins, but those 20 mins are intense! Good luck!
