Unique Program

Six Degree Flow is a yoga-based program consisting of body-
weight movements chained by seamless transitions designed to
improve flexibility, coordination, stamina, and strength, as well as to
reduce cortisol and burn excess body fat.

The Vinyasa-like flow sequences have a compound effect on


calorie burning, making them a viable alternative to regular joint-
crushing cardio and can be performed anywhere with no equipment
at all.
This program may be particularly suitable for young and older
people who want a safe and gear-free workout protocol to improve
agility, range of motion, endurance, and overall strength while
getting lean at the same time. Below a detailed critique of Scott
Sonnon’s bodyweight program.

Who Is It For?
Scott Sonnon’s Six Degree Flow is suitable for those who want an
equipment-free workout blueprint that can be followed for life and
implemented anywhere.

It is particularly indicated for those who need not just to burn fat and
strengthen muscles, but also want to restore their mobility,
coordination, balance, posture, and suppleness to younger times.

The routines are very much low impact and “joint-proof”, making
this program also suitable for seniors with joint issues, but the
workouts are still calorie burning and demanding, thus beneficial for
both fat loss and lean muscle.
What Is The Six Degree Flow?
The Scientific Back Up
For flow, the author means a Vinyasa style yoga sequence of
movements. Vinyasa is the Sanskrit word for “flow”, and this
particular format of yoga has apparently been proven as effective
for promoting fat loss by a number of studies like this one from the
American Journal of Managed Care.
This pattern of movements is allegedly proven to reduce levels of
cortisol by regulating the sympathetic nervous system. Cortisol is a
hormone produced during the time of physical or psychological
stress.
Excessive stress and elevated cortisol levels promote weight gain
particularly on the waist and belly, the most dangerous and toxic fat
storage associated with cardiovascular disease, strokes, and heart
attacks. This is a well-documented fact shown in many studies
like this one.
Scott Sonnon also refers to another study from the Fred Hutchinson
Cancer Research Center in Seattle showing that flow yoga does
help people burn substantial amounts of fat with as little as one 30-
minute session/week. Here we found this study.
The Program Outlines
Six Degree Flow is an electronic program that you can view on any
device immediately upon purchase and can be implemented
anywhere, no physical delivery necessary.
The program’s assumption is that when it comes to resistance
training your body can’t tell a difference between a barbell, a
machine, and your own bodyweight, therefore Six Degree Flow can
be considered a calisthenics program designed to improve all
aspects of fitness like strength, stamina, and flexibility, in a
functional way.
This approach makes this blueprint ideal for those without access to
a gym. The program comes with a set of PDFs manuals and follow-
along video classes organized for different fitness levels.

This format makes the program user-friendly and error-proof, as


many flow sequences would otherwise require a long apprentice
time to be implemented.

Scott Sonnon is there in the videos showing you all the moves and
transitions from one to the next. The flows are very gentle on the
joints but surprisingly demanding on overall workload, hence
effective for calorie burned, metabolism, fat loss, strength, flexibility,
and coordination.

This is where this program is most surprising because yoga moves


are usually associated with gentle workouts that do not elicit much
calorie-burning whereas, in fact, the combined chain of movement
patterns make up for a solid workout.

These flows may be gentle on the surface but are demanding if


followed through to the end. Scott Sonnon has also taken great
care to make these movements safe to perform with additional
detailed coaching videos designed to familiarize yourself with the
moves and avoid injury.

Just because Yoga is not power-lifting it does not mean that it is


injury-proof by default and in fact, it is quite common to get hurt
while performing yoga moves incorrectly.

Aside from the fat loss, the Six Degree Flow workouts are designed
to strengthen the whole of your body with a comprehensive
approach. Rather than viewing your body as a collection of parts as
in bodybuilding routines, it targets all the muscle groups in
sequence for a full-body workout.
This creates the build-up and honing of additional fitness skills like
coordination, flexibility, increased range of motion, and stamina, as
it works your muscles, joints, and nervous system synergically as a
chain, and not individually as a factory assembly line.

The Benefits Of Six Degree Flows


When performing the Six Degree Flow routines, your body is gently
coached into engaging your musculature, balance, coordination,
and joints with a wide range of pushing, twisting, squatting, also
called Roll and Sway, Pitch and Surge, Yaw and Heave in the
program.

They are quite fun to follow along and you can do them from the
comfort of your home or while traveling. Because of the calisthenic
nature of these routines, you are bound to engage most of your
muscles in any given position, making up for a full-body workout at
the end of the session. No split routines required.

This kind of working out is proven to be effective for developing


lean, functional muscles without the need for boring cardio or
repetitive split routines, as it naturally increases your BMR, so you
can burn off calories even while resting.
In short, Scott Sonnon’s program is in line with his usual quality
output and does deliver a very effective blueprint that targets all
aspects of general fitness like strength, lean muscle growth, fat
loss, flexibility, coordination, balance, and injury prevention.
What Makes Six Degree Flow
Different?
Six Degree Flow is more than a basic body-weight workout
program.

The scope of this blueprint is to offer not just some workout routines
to improve your fitness, it also helps boost your well-being all over
by reducing cortisol levels and restoring the lost range of motion
and flexibility.
The seamless routines are particularly beneficial for those with
aching joints since they consist of smooths transitions from a body
position to another without impact forces involved.

The continuous flow engages all muscles for a complete body


workout without the risk of injury and in fact, even preventing it.

These routines are a kind of “bio-mechanical exercises” designed to


improve flexibility, agility, range of motion, coordination, stamina,
and last but not least, burn body fat and strengthen your muscles.

The movement patterns are there in place to break through the


comfort zone, that is the set of personal bad hidden movements
and postures that your nervous system acquired overtime to hide
underlying problems with the result of making them even chronic.

The Six Degree Flow addresses this problem by tackling old


postural and flexibility dysfunctions with these unusual techniques
of seamless yoga transitions, restoring range, and freedom of
movement.
