Last Thursday I started the 30-Day Shred workout. My goal is to lose some inches around my middle, and also to inject some oomph into my strength training routine.
I am now on Day 5 of the program, which is to say I’m halfway through level 1.
Though I’m a little late on the BEFORE measurements, here they are (these were taken on Day 1):
Waist (narrowest part): 33″
Low Waist (4″ below waist): 37.5″ <– this is the number we want to change
Hips (4″ below low waist): 41.5″
This is the equipment I’m using. A yoga mat, some push-up handles (so nice on the wrists!), and 3lbs dumbbells.
It’s still a little early in the program, but I can tell you right now that the workout is NOT kind on the knees. I find I have to modify a lot of the moves, or else my knees are screaming at the end of it. No biggie, but I would definitely recommend anyone (doing any video) to listen to their own bodies rather than try to follow the instructor to a T.
Other than that, I’m just tired. Double workouts make me tired. I can’t believe I have to go for a run after work!!! 
Thanks for sharing this! I’m looking forward to hearing how this program works for you. I have almost the exact same measurements (I’m 5’9″), exercise most days, and have had an ongoing battle with my midsection for the past couple of years. I find plyometrics and boot camp-style routines work well but it’s tough to keep that high intensity long-term.
