I love using hand weights to add additional resistance to the mat work, so I was excited when I got a request from a member to film a class with weights.
This class focuses on the lower and upper body, but you better believe the abdominals will also get some love.
I am using 3 pounds (1.5 kg) hand weights for this class. I would suggest a range from 1-5 pounds for most people, but if you are used to lifting heavier, feel free to go as heavy as you would like. You want to pick a challenging weight that allows you a full range of motion without putting too much tension or strain on the neck and shoulders.
