I take three classes involving hand weights, and (one Thursday, two in a row saturday), and I started using 3s and 5s and moved up to 5s and 8s pretty quickly. If you feel like it's getting "easy" just move up, at least for maybe one rep. And I definitely count crunches, and any kind of ab work as strengthening work. Wish the results were quicker in that area!
