what size weights do you guys use? do you know what size weights they use in the video? It seems like its beating me up pretty bad and I use 5lb ones or is that just cause im new to it? I dont want to kill myself but I want to get a work out. Just wondering what you all are using thanks

    Hi, I'm new to 30 day shred too.  I use 3lb weights and they give me a really good workout.

    I use 3 lb weights and it is a good workout.  In fact, sometimes I feel like my arms will fall off.  But, I also do 45 min of step with arm weights before the 30 day shred video.  This is day 6 of my 30 day shred and I can notice my arms getting tone!  Just waiting for the inches and pounds to start melting away now!

    Today was my 2nd day of the shred. Yesterday, I did the workout without weights since I haven't exercised in forever.  Today I used 3 pound weights and I definitely felt the burn!

    I used 5 lb - it got easier after the first couple days, but use what you feel comfortable with.  It should still be somewhat hard so that you are making the most of it.

    I started the first day using 5 b/c that's what I already had, but went out and bought 3 b/c 5 was too heavy. For me, 3 is perfect to get a great workout and be able to finish all the circuits.

    so it sounds like 3 is perfect, thats what i was thinking after doing it 2 days with the 5, but then the first time, all i had was 10 so (besides the 1-1/2's that are like nothing) so then I went and bought 5's man, i gotta go get 3s now cause i want to do it all the way through you know, with 5 I gotta stop each exercise short I'll probably get used to it soon, but I gotta take a couple days break inbetween to recover

    I've always used 5's. Now that I've been doing it for a really long time, I keep my 8's close by so I can grab them for the ones where 5's feel too easy.

    I go back anf forth between 3's and 5's because some of the excersizes are just to easy with the 3's but then other my arms feel like they will fall off with the 5's.
