What is your weight routine?
Being since it's going to rain tomorrow I'm making it a weight day.
I dug out a set of 10 lb. dumbbells.
What are some good exercises you ladies use with weights?

Re: What is your weight routine?
I use weights at the gym and none are free weights, so I don't know.
I know that lunges are pretty good to do with free weights.
I take a strength training class and we only use hand weights.
bicep--curls, hammer curls
tricep--skull crushers (laying down), kick backs, and this one exercise where we hold each end of the dumbell in each hand and raise our arms over our heads. We then lower the weight to head level (behind our head) for a set of 10 reps. Then we start at the mid point and lower to shoulder level then do a set from top to shoulder (this kills!). When doing triceps, remember to keep the arm still from the shoulder to your elbow and don't lock your elbow. I hope these descriptions make sense
We do a lot of lunges and squats in addition to exercises for shoulders, back and abs. Check out this website: http://www.exrx.net/
