At 59 I had knee issues. Getting up from the floor and stairs was tough. I gradually worked my way down to a 6 inch squat depth after doing partial reps for months. The partials still seemed to not help (maybe even hurt my knees) but full ROM ATG actually fixed my knees and now at age 66 I can do ATG goblet squats with over half my body weight. Zero knee issues!

I had a neighbour, he lived till he was 94 year old, he would spend a lot of time in squat position troughg the day, he would do squat position and do the work with his hands around flowers, herbs, plants ans even just randomly do squat to rest and talk with us. And he was also very active, he would ride bike for miles every day to go to buy newspaper, go to market, etc...

I lived in Japan for two years while stationed at Misawa AB; all the education I needed about squatting for longevity. It was a rural area, and every day you would see so-called elderly folks working the fields in a full squat - a position the average American (regardless of age) couldn't attain without a lot of effort, and maybe couldn't recover from. Also saw a fair share of traditional porcelain hole-in-the-ground toilets that required a full squat to use; traditional Japanese dining tables that were maybe a foot off the ground where meals were served ... a lifestyle that required mobility. Worth following.

Squat is important , but there is also reasons why we move pass the squat. Being able to squat is extremely important and it will make the heart stronger. Once the body could squat , it is not necessary to squat frequently to retain it.

I only did 4 years and yeah I got issues. Being a mortarman carrying that baseplate up and down hills. I wanted to reinlist but there were no chiropractors nearby Pendleton. I think if I had a decent chiropractor I could have stayed in the Infantry (no other place to be in my book), I could have done my 20 and got out ok. But I do have mild scoliosis that didn't show up until i started doing weekly/ monthly 20-30 mile "humps" (hikes) after just 4 years. They should have a good Chiro on every base.

@davevisse, lol, young man. I'm 72, so yeah, from my perspective you are young. I've spent time in Asia and am well aware of the squat (many other commenters have had similar experiences seeing it). My wife is Asian and she uses this position for many gardening tasks and sometimes she sits on the sofa in a squat. I learned it while serving in Korea (44 years ago). I prefer it over using knee pads for a host of tasks. For example, I clean my pool skimmer while in a squat and assemble furniture as well. I also do it as part of my strength training regimen. BTW my knees are great and my balance is good. My wife, who is 65, can balance on a bathtub edge in the squat. However, if you don't have experience with this squat, don't try it on a bathtub. Lol, the bathtub is not a place to do it if you have grown up in a Western culture but if really young and if in good shape, or grown up in an acrobatic family, then give it a try.

Years ago, I went into a pilates class for the first time. After my evaluation, the instructor asked me if I did ballet as a child (I could put my leg above my head but couldn't squat for the life of me) She said it was very common for adults that danced ballet as children to have hips flexibility and no ankle mobility. We try to work on that for about 2 years, but I never see the diference. 15 years laters, your videos found me on KZread and after 2 months of some very basic exercises, I'm staring to see a difference. I'm 40 now, I've always workout, I still dance, I still do yoga (but no more pilates) and just NOW I'm understanding what it takes to work on my ankle mobility. Finally! Thank you!

I had bad knee pain when I started motorcycling again 2 years ago, but after squatting and doing leg days, it went away. Turns out, my leg muscles just needed to wake up again! What people forget is the Knee is mostly a joint/bone. The Muscles around the knee are what causes soreness, so if those start to Atrophy, that's where the actual pain comes from.

My dad was a basketball coach for years. He believed that doing squats everyday to build your full range of motion and jumping ability was the most important exercise a man could do. He must have said, "10 squats a day to walk everyday for life." thousands of times. As sick of it as I was, I stuck to it and at 56 years old now, I still do my squats every morning and while I no longer can dunk, I can still touch the rim. On a side note: squats keep your butt and hamstrings from flattening out as you age which are the first two things to go for most men.

Currently taking it easy with some rehab. 312 plus pounds at the beginning of August and currently 227.

Great video! When I work my office job from home I use a standing desk - but on the floor! It's a Stag and Bear and I love it. It's really made for putting on top of your regular desk so you can stand and work, but I use it directly on the floor and sit on a yoga cushion. Sometimes squatting, but most of the time just moving through different stretches. It really helps the pain I usually get from sitting at a desk all day.

Retired personal trainer (27 years) here. This is a very good video, with the best advice. Well done to the creator 👏🏼

Squats have healed my lower back pain that extended all the way to my knees, no amount of visits to physio (over 50 times to several different ones) have worked (neither their exercises) for many years. I've found out squatting myself few years ago, still do them daily, no more back- and kneepain, but it will come back when I don't do them for a few days. Results came quick as well, after a week far less pain and it takes longer before it came back. Doing it for 6 months, pain coming back after few hours extended to a day, few years, extended pain not doing them to few days. Hope this anecdotal experience helps others, truthful video!

It's been a pleasure to watch your videos! I'm 31yo guy who has always suffered from not being able to lift heavy weights because it always end up to some kind of mild injury which takes me out of gym for a while (not really a technique issue, but other health problems) It's been a long journey for me to accept that my body is not made for that. Nowadays I enjoy much more gentle type of excercise and have actually got inspired to do contemporary dancing which is superb for movement training. Thank you for being part of my mental journey for healthier ways to move!

My Gran is in her 60s & does these low squats every day without a second thought, moving across the floor with a dustpan & brush as she sweeps up, then does the same movements for hours weeding the garden.

Fantastic insights on the benefits of squatting beyond just exercise! 🏋‍♂ Emphasizing squatting as a natural posture that supports joint health and overall well-being reminds us of the importance of incorporating fundamental movements into our daily routine.

Watched the whole video in a squat, started struggling 2 mins in, kept doing some movement or the other! Had fun thankyou

Where my Asians at??

Been wearing Vivos for 12 years and still don't have the ankle dorsiflexion for a deep squat.

Have you tried split squats with your front foot elevated, taking the knee to full flexion? This is great for helping with hips and ankle mobility and knee stability 😊

@@SarahBartlett Thanks for the great suggestion. Bulgarian split squats are part of my regular routine. I will try switching the elevated foot to the front and incorporating that. More than anything, I was just countering the idea that minimalist or zero-drop footwear will do much (or anything) for regaining ankle dorsiflexion already lost. It's true that a primary limiting factor in ankle dorsiflexion is compromised foot strength and mobility, but nothing comes close to a deliberate exercise routine that targets those specific deficiencies and imbalances. Simply wearing Vivos isn't enough for many adults who already have problems. Unless the foot is substantially strengthened, the ankle and foot will always collapse before the Gastrocnemius, the Soleus, and the Achilles tendon loosen. For deep squat ankle dorsiflexion, the foot and ankle need to be strong enough to resist collapse in an increasingly acute range. Personally, I don't have that foot strength at that sharp angle. Re-gaining it once lost is an arduous endeavor. I'd further ad that for those with over pronation issues, trying to increase ankle dorsiflexion w/o first deliberately increasing foot/ankle strength can easily lead to even greater over pronation.

​@@sanfransimo You are bang on my friend, and I very much agree that Vivo's will do little to correct and bring back lost range, if no progressively loaded corrective exercise is undertaken simultaneously. Training barefoot is best, if it is safe for one to do so. Personally, I find even barefoot shoes to be limiting. To have your actual body in contact with the ground is far and above the greatest for correct activation of the muscles of the foot and ankles. It enhances the body awareness significantly. Barefoot shoes are a FAR better option than most conventional training/running shoes however. As with any corrective exercise, working within and just to the limit of where you can maintain pain free loading with correct form is how it needs to be executed in order to work. So with this example, you would go to where the trainee can maintain foot alignment, and stop right where the begin to pronate. Bands can be a great tool for enhancing awareness and improving range of motion. You can add a lateral pull element to the split squat that helps with maintaining external rotation of the femur as you descend into the movement. Another great drill would be banded ankle dorsiflexion - where the band is anchored to a low point and you have one foot in the band facing away from the anchor point. The band sits right at the front of the ankle where it bends, and pulls on the tendons as you move into dorsiflexion to help stretch them out, which will help with increasing supination to hold alignment. Best of luck with the foot strengthening endeavours - it's a worthwhile venture as it will greatly improve your overall stability and strength! Look into the important of big toe mobility and big toe flexion in deep squat positions - I'd be prioritising that and barefoot unilateral deep flexion work if you were my client! Great chat :)

Love this! I always include squats in my practice & in my teaching!

I love your videos. They are so thorough and informative with a pinch of comic.

Asians watching this video be like: "How come our common habit becomes a magical healing ritual?"🤣

People in the west have lost touch with their traditions and culture. People in the east seem to be more in tune with nature.
