I use 5lb but in the videos they tell u to have a set of heavy weights and light weights, but at first use weights that feel comfortable to you and that you can tolerate without hurting yourself, then once you feel your ready to go up feel free to upgrade!.. hope this helps and good luck!

I used a mix of 5's and 8's. Doing the same exercise for 60 seconds is a long time for much more weight.

It's best to use whatever you are comfortable with. See how you feel with a set of 2lb weights or 5lb weights and go from there. Your body will tell you if it's too hard or to easy. It is suggested to have two sets of weights or two sets of resistance bands though, a lighter set and a heavier set. However the difference can be as little or as large as you can manage.

depends on where your strength level is, anywhere from 5 - 15. I jump between 8-15 lbs depending on the exercise. On plyo days there is no reason for me to use more than 10 lbs at the moment. As you progress you will need more weight. Also, lifting heavy at some point does NOT mean you'll get a super muscley body builder body. You're a woman, it doesn't work that way. You will be toned. That's the goal anyway.

I am 140 lbs and it is enough for me. For comparison when I am in the gym I do flat bench dumbell presses with 55lbs for 4 sets of 8 to 10. I use about 130lbs of the stack to accomplish the same thing. Hope that helps and provides some reference point.

Resistance bands and weights. I only have 5lb dumbbells available to me right now, so that's what I'm using until I get paid. Then I'm going to bump it up and buy a heavier set. She makes reference to using up to 20 lbs though, but only for certain exercises.

According to fitnessexchange.com website 1000lbs. I only use them for tricep ext. and close grip bench w/easy bar. I've got up to 225 w/no problems.

I would say starting out you should use 5 lbs and under. What is good about this is that it comes with a really great intro-moderate resistance band. I used this band for the program and got great results, so just starting out you don't need to by anything extra.

I took mine to an archery shop and they set it for me at 43lbs. If you are a lady, I would suggest a release, this would give you more strength to hold. I am 70 and I need it and it is very helpful.

Three pound weights are needed. I'm sure you would feel workout without weights but good idea to have some.

You do have to buy weights. I have olympic weights with 2" opening. This is made for regular weights with 1" opening. I would recommend buying some 25 pound or 10 pound weight plates with 1" opening. It depends on how heavy you want to go

You could use bands but I think the dumbbells are a better workout. 2 sets of two different weights would be a good start and then more later as you get stronger. As far as how heavy?, that's up to your current strength level but starting lighter is smarter as you are required to use them and focus on balance at the same time. I recommend a chin up bar but it does not need to be fancy. I also recommend the medicine balls. I bought an 8# and 10# ball which has its advantages and disadvantages. I have 2 different weights to use with the different exercises but when you have to use them both, the two sizes make it asymmetrical but still workable. I may buy another one of each since 4 balls come in handy for the later workouts. I really enjoy rolling out the muscle groups and think a foam roller is important but it does not need to be expensive. Cheap ones may get flattened after a short while so I wouldn't get too cheap with this item. Hope this helps.

Standard, but you could probably use an olympic bar. You'll want to be carefull adding heavy plates one side at a time as it has a small base and standard bars are only 15lbs...it could fly off and smack you if you're not carefull.

It depends. Sometimes I use 8oz. setting and if I want stronger then 6. For my kids I use 8oz. setting.

My weights were for a garden tractor. 2 3/8-16 x 7 1/2 inch bolts, 2 3/8 flat washer at head then 2 3/8 lock washer and 3/8-16 hex nut.

You can use any size up to about an inch. Weight is more important as too much weight will overwhelm the bands.

Same as a standard 45 lb Olympic straight bar. I use everything from 2.5 lb to 45 lb Olympic plates. I also use the same collars as on the standard straight Olympic bar.

I have both. Regular weighs 23lbs & PRO weighs 30lbs, give or take a pound. If you follow the included workout plan, pretty soon you'll be throwing around the 23lb model like an empty soda can. The PRO model is a way to increase the resistance and your intensity by about 30% just doing the same workout regimen. The round weights work with either, but are a pain in the arse to use. I only used them a couple of weeks and got tired of putting them on and taking them off to do different exercises. One fell off and almost broke my foot and that's when I stopped. Check out my 5-star review on Amazon (for the 30lb model) for directions on how to get the PRO model for only $99, including shipping.

I used the 4 inch disc to hand plates weighing 4 - 6 lbs. The various sizes indicate what the recommended weight is. I am very pleased with the discs of every size. Just follow the instructions as given. They are great!
