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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
