I'm on day 4 of level 2 of the 30DS. I've been using 2lbs and 3lbs weights since the begining. Mostly the 3lbs weights but there are a few moves that I swithc to the 2lbs ones. I want to get some 4lbs weights soon though!

    I've been using 3lb weights, I might try 5lb tomorrow and see how it goes...but 3lb is giving me quite the workout for now.

    This is interesting because I've been using 5 lbs for another circuit training video. I'm still waiting on my 30DS DVD to arrive. From the sounds of it, it might be a good idea to downgrade in the beginning?

    According to the 30DS kit she sells at Walmart, she uses 3 pound weights...that's what the kit has:)

    Our weights are in kgs in New Zealand - I am using 3kg (6.6lbs) and today upped to 4kg (8.8lbs) just for the chest flies as I found the lighter weights not challenging enough.

    I started off with 3lb but moved up to a combo of 3 & 5 lbs. I am on level 2 now and still use both depending on what the exercise is. I am on day 2 of lebvel 2 (day 12).

    My cable co says its the 30 day shred on the on demand stuff. Does the real version start with push ups and consist of mostly jumping jacks, lunges and crunches?

    I had originally bought 5 lb weights and I almost died, I use 3 for most of them and 5 for some. :)

    I always use 5 lbs. Some of the moves I could probably increase, but I don't have 8 lbs, only 10 and I don't know if that would be too much. Never tried it!

    Since I only have 1 lb walking weights at the moment, I'm using those. (only on day 3 of level 1 right now) Although I'm going to get some 3 lb weights soon and will probably pick up some 5 lb as well.

    I'd start with 3lb. weights then increase according to your personal needs.

    I'm using the 1.5 kg weights (3.3lbs) it's a killer though I don't think I'll be upgrading during my 30DS duration.:laugh:

    I was using 3 pounds on Level 3, and I messed up a tendon in my elbow doing the boxing. So now I have 'tennis elbow' and can't use any weights for a few weeks. Be careful with level 3, all cardio is done with weights.
