You are correct that I changed weights… at least for the pictures. Whether or not you change weights might depend on your goals or how many dumbbell sizes you have available.
If you have the range of dumbbells, have them right there and ready since there is no rest between the exercises until you complete all 5. If you want to go for speed/aerobic, using only one set of dumbbells, then yes, do the circuit with the weight from the exercise that uses the lightest weight. You may complete 8 reps of one of the exercises and 12 reps on others.
You might also consider starting light, and increasing the load with each set… even if you are decreasing the rep range.
*sigh* so many options!

These are very good, Lauren. I appreciate you providing strength-building exercises like this. Are you using the same level of weights in each exercise? They appear to be different. I’m guessing that with something like the fly, we would generally start with a lighter weight than the lunges or presses. Is this correct?
