Their isn't any specific weight you should use, I know a lot of the womens health fitness magazine stay within a certain weight but thats not true one bit. I would say work and try to stay with reps and sets with weight you can manage. By that I don't mean where it's super easy but where you feel challenged. As it becomes easier increase the weight, there is nothing wrong with that. 10-12 or 12-15 reps would be great to start off with around 3-4 sets.
