cathe, when you are doing weight training, you use a barbell and i believe it is 5 lbs. am i right? and where do i get one. i have been looking online and cannot find one that size. please let me know, i thoroughly enjoy your workouts. jane
 
Hi, Jane. Cathe uses the Troy Lite Barbell set. The bar like you said is 5 lbs. The set consists of (1) lite bar, (2) spring collars, (4) 2.5 lb. plates, (2) 5 lb. plates, and (2) 7.5 lb. plates (40 lbs. total weight).
You can buy more plates separately as you need them. Here's the link to the site:

Not too long ago, I posted a similiar question and SNM Videos answered it. They took me to the Walmart site that has the 5 lb barbell, 2 five pound dumbells and 4-10s with spring clips. The actual set was $19.66 plus tax and S/H. I was ready to order from Amazon and others but Walmart came through for me.
 
Hello Linda.
It's called the US Weight 55 pound Aerobic Weight set for $19.66. I couldn't find the item number on my order.

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks for the link. What a great price! One other question though, have you purchased additional plates for your set?

Hello Linda.
No, I haven't. The 55lbs should keep me busy for awhile.
Maybe, down the road when I get real strong.

I have the same set, also purchased through Walmart online for the same price. I love this set. Mine came with (2) 5# plates and (2) 10# plates, but I already had 2.5# plates.

It's a great set. :)
