all i do is take my light dumbbells and use it with whatever workout, and voila, you have a 4-limb workout w/light weights.
not sure what you consider light, but if it's aerobic where you're moving quickly, i don't go higher than 5#. i have weights from 1 to 5# for this purpose, including DBs and weighted gloves.
if it's pilates, ballet or barre work, i don't go higher than 3#.
