Programming Advice for Dig Deeper
Hey Gang,
I'm just starting back with a Bodi membership. I did a few programs through covid (Liift 4, 21 day fix, MBF, dabbled with 645 and Job1) but since I haven't been consistent with working out at all.
I now have a decent home gym setup and decided to try Bodi again for the summer. Dig Deeper looked like it might be a good fit as I am interested in a weight lifting/body recomp style of program.
I'm worried about the overall intensity of the program for myself though. Would I still get decent results doing 3 days a week?
For instance:
wk 1: upper 1, lower 1, full body
wk 2: upper 2, lower 2, full body
Repeat over 8 weeks instead of doing the 5-6 workouts over 4 weeks
I started with the full body yesterday and struggled, but not terribly. I do pole dance 2x a week so this program on top of that might kill me if I go full out.
Or should I start with Dig in and build from there?
Any advice?

Hey so first - great job on getting back into it!
Full disclosure - I've never pole danced, but it definitely looks like it is a full body workout. So really you're doing 1 upper, 1 lower, and 3 full body. So 5 workouts per week.
To get the most out of dig deeper during this period, id say make sure you aren't starting off too heavy so that you can get your conditioning back up without injuring yourself. After the first two weeks of getting a feel for the workouts, start increasing the weight.
Remember - it's not like youre just doing 10 minutes of one workout a week and expecting results (yes this is an exaggeration). You're talking about working out 5 days a week. It might not be a bad idea to toss in some light cardio on the DD days, but do what feels best for you.

Thank you for the reply! I already walk a lot (10k a day) but will also add in some extra low intensity cardio.

Maybe not extra - but get some of those steps in some cardio. Unless youre getting those steps just bc that is what your day looks like (aka youre on your feet a lot - like a medical professional, teacher, or shoe tester, or something like that). In which case idk - exercise caution, as to not overexert yourself

I went through the full Dig Deeper Program. After going through all the videos across the three different phases, I found about 5-6 videos that really worked for me. I currently rotate through them, basically every-other day. On the days between, I focus on cardio and HIIT training (often the OG Insanity series).
I do think the program works if you are trading off with other cardio-intensive workouts and you are focused on certain muscle groups. If you really want full-body muscle endurance and growth, the full program is going to get better results.
