Good, but why put down other systems?

This is a good way to keep joints working. I just don't understand why Sonnen has to put his ideas above others'. His claims that this will help 'fix the damage' caused by other modalities, including yoga, is very misleading: Properly done, yoga, (or even weightlifting), is perfectly healthy, while done sloppily, even 'Warrior Wellness' can cause injury,(I've since seen Sonnen doing plyometrics, which are notorious for causing injuries). Decades, (even centuries, in the case of yoga) of benefit, make Scott's put-downs seem juvenile, especially considering that his copyrighted "Prasara" -is- yoga, along with much of 'Warrior Wellness'. If you compare his work to the performances of any expert, whether an Ashtanga adept, or even a top-flight highschool gymnast, Sonnens 'way' breaks down to mid-level ability at best in performances of multiple arts: Nothing wrong with that, but leave the real guys alone.

Simple yet effective

I'm on a wellness kick. Why wait till you get ill before you do something for your health. 6-degress of freedom, simply 25 minutes every morning and after 4 weeks I CAN tell a difference. Do yourself a favor and commit to Warrior Wellness for yourself and your family. Per the author's suggestion I have not attempted the intermediate or advanced workouts yet ... I am waiting the recommended 6 months.

Sonnons material is excellent!

Body weight exercises are all the rage- and with good reason. But one thing many of the fitness gurus are missing is the ability to actually link their exercises to real world applications. After all, we don't do things like pushups and situps to get good at doing pushups and situps- the idea is that they have an application to the rest of our activites. Coach Sonnon (and he really works like a coach, not like a guru, or a trainer- like a coach who is honestly interested in your success) manages to provide a real world series of 'exercises' (movements really) to regain the range of motion, ability and 'wellness' that you once had as a child. In that Sonnon succeeds. I've been following this program (and the 'Body-Flow' series) for about 4 months or so, and, despite a large amount of competitive injuries from earlier martial arts work, I'm moving with no pain, stiffness or those problematic 'popping and cracking' of my joints.

It's not a miracle- it does require work and dedication- but in a short time, with some earnest effort, Scott Sonnon has presented a program to renew both your body and mind.
