    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.

    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?

    Yes, level 1 of 30DS starts out with those.

    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?

    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.

    All I have are 0.5g, 1kg, and 1.5kg weights (1.1, 2.2 and 3.3 pounds).

    I use the 1.5kg weights for almost all the exercises, although there are some (eg chest flies) that I wish I had heavier weights for as mine don't provide enough resistance.

    There are also a few (side lunges with arm raises, the squats with v-lifts etc) that I *really* struggle with using 1.5kg. I do my best to get through, but sometimes have to switch to 1kg for the second sets.

    2 lb is quite enough for me at the moment. They're wrap around the wrist ones with a cool thumb hole. Style is more important than weight. ;-D
