As you showed in your video it is something that everyone can learn. The reason most western born and raised folks don't know is because of chairs and toilets where people sit on, while Asian cultures are accustomed to sitting on the ground or on low stools and there are toilets which require you to squat. Just about everyone in Asia, South West Asia learns how to do it and you'll also see this in Central America from the Native Americans.

I can do it, but I need to separate my legs well and point my feet to the sides. I would be ashamed to squat in public like I can now. My goal is to squat with my legs close together. Ps: If I wrote something embarrassing, please disregard. English isn't my first language 😪

I remember reading the expression “sitting on their heels,” as a youngster. At the time I wasn’t sure what that meant, but after seeing people squatting on the ground is Asia and California, I observed that the those squatting most deeply are indeed sitting on their heels. That is, they are resting their butts on their heels. I think that’s how they are able to sit like that comfortably, without strain for extended periods. You still have more progress to make before you achieve full Asian squat.

@@SunnyEmCeeMC The trouble is that in Western societies, bc we don't start at any age to squat down on our heels ,or else , we do try , usually too late , and we lose flexibilty ...don't use it and you lose it , so we fall over backwards bc the ankles are so stuff. I'm 74 and just starting to learn , with my ankles on wedges at 1 st .

I think that any person, from any ethnicity, can lose the muscle/tendon/joint flexibility and strength required to assume this deep squatting posture. I think most toddlers just use this posture naturally. My own background ethnicity is German and Irish. Into my 50s I was able to squat down to a 5-gallon glass jug of wine standing on the floor (50 pounds) and stand up with it. I’m in my 80s now and, because of disuse, I have gotten stiff and weak so that I can no longer do a deep squat. But one of my goals for 2024 is to try and recover the strength and flexibility necessary to do deep squats again.

Thanks so much for this video . It is very encouraging to see you managing to squat without falling backwards , after only a week ! I am using wedges under my heels as my ankles are very stiff . I am 74 but I believe it's never too late to learn , if one is not too damaged by arthritis .

I have always seen people where I live sit on the pavement like this but I didn't know there was a name for it until now. You learn something new everyday

Thank you for this video! I watched because this is a quest for me too and I like getting tips from others in videos (& in the comments) but I didn't expect to be so entertained - I was literally busting out laughing at times and even found myself clapping when you achieved it! I'm such a goof but I really loved your honesty and how you shared this little journey with us. Thanks for the info & encouragement!

Thanks for the encouragement. At 76 I need it. Always wondered what the little twangy thing was good for.😂

I've always wanted to be able to do this, well done!

Thank you! You’ve inspired me and given me much hope!! 😁

You did it !! Keep it up as it's great for hip mobility especially if you spend lots of time sitting while working. My son and I love to pop an Asian squat at random times just for fun.

How many hours did you practise? Did you do any stretches etc.? I need to know😂. I've been Practising for a over a year(stretches, getting into the squat for periods of time etc.. ) now and can't do it. Yes, I've definitely gotten better and have more flexibility/mobility than I did over a year ago but I'm not able to do it perfectly unless unsupported/with a weight as a counterbalance. I'm however aware it can take longer for some people. I think in your case you already had all the mobility needed , you just needed to practise actually being in the squat position and getting comfortable in it.

You need to be famous 🖤

I'm a big guy (6'3" and around 250 lately) and picked up on it right away when I was stationed in Korea working with the KATUSA and ROK soldiers there. I still find myself using the "Asian squat" today, 30 years later when doing various tasks that would require bending or stooping for extended periods of time. It's as if once you do it, it just naturally becomes comfortable. CHEERS!

Underrated YT channel!

Looks pretty similar to slav squat, doing that squat since i was start to walk xD Keep up, I really like your channel!

Years and can't do it but you learned in a week

First time trying the Asian Squat, I also had the same feeling from the video, but overtime it gets easy. The more you do it, The longer it gets. It's like a burning sensation and some numbness but that's if you go longer. The longer to hold it, You'll feel more strength in the legs and makes it better and comfortable to get used to, it makes digestion better when eating compared to sitting and eating. Reading a book or watching some videos or movies while doing the Asian Squat could be great to kill the time while you do it. Though, once you want to stand up your legs and quads will just be sore for a few seconds or a while.

I was in an Asian squat throughout the video trying to understand if it really is a hard thing:-D you did awesome!

Born and raised in the southern US, I’m white, and I’ve been Asian squatting since I was a kid. At 26 I do this every time I use the bathroom. It became a comfort position when I was young, for when my stomach was hurting(which was all the time) and it just stuck around since then. So I’ve been doing it for over 20 years at this point, every single day.

I am Russian! This position is in my blood!😂 We have an idiom: rose the hills - lost the neighborhood. Native gopnik culture💛

AMAZING

I definitely gotta practice this 🤣🤣

3:25 That's me! Too comfortable now. 😂 If the task can be performed while squatting, I do it.👍

The reason You were having trouble doing the squat at first is because you're Achilles tendons are too tight. First thing you need to do is get a foot soaking tub with hot water, as hot as you can tolerate without scolding yourself and just soak your feet for about 5 minutes and then try try to do the Asian squat, while your tendons are all relaxed and loose, so you can stretch them easier.

Whats interesting is that I can do it without any practice. And it was always like that from my childhood. Now I'm 38 and still doing it without problems. I believe this must be due to the genetics. I'm more flexible in that crucial parts that you need to have for this type of excercise. My brother for example can't do it. I'm a tennis player from 4 years so maybe this helped me stay in shape and have strong glutes and other leg muscles. Nice video btw., beuatiful voice you have.

Жыл бұрын

Me too. Didn't know that's a thing or called asian squad. Did it since I was a kid till now and it's more comfortable for me than sitting hours on a chair or with flat legs on the ground. So I agree, must depend on genetics and habbits.

Hahaha love it.. New sub here lol I to am learning how to Asian squat only im putting books under my heels just keep at it lol im watching an Asian guy on youtube called upright health he does Asian squats shows you how to do it love his channel has helped me a lot,,,,

When you took off your shoes I was like: "YAY! Now she'll do it!!"

For flexy ankles: Put the ball of one foot on a chair; bend your knee, push it past your toe, and pull down on the side of the chair to lower the heel

I feel lucky to be able to do this for some reason

When I was a kid I usually do it bc my legs with give out on fairs or amusement parks with a lot of walking.

I think the best way to start if from the standing position

Amazing! So 7 or 8 days to do the squat? I've become a big K-drama viewer so this will fit in nicely!

I went to a very strict school in which if you misbehaved, they'd make you do a squat for a few minutes (the non-asian squat), but ngl the Asian Squat™ really hurts at first

In Europe this is called slavic squat :D

This one I have done! A few years ago. Took me a month.

I didnt even know this was a talent- wow im finally having something...

This is very first time i know.. Okey there is a exercise in our regular sitting position

I've never "normally" squated I guess because I always squad with my legs fully on the floor

I always knew this as the Slav squat. If you Google image that, you will find it may include cigarettes, alcohol, and Addidas 😂

Any variation of the squat is beneficial. One heel up, the other down, then switch. You can get the full squat with practice. I did.

I would start by resting my back against the wall. I would do it daily for a couple of weeks then start trying it without the wall holding you up.

It helps if you are flexible in the hips. Asians are used to it because they do it all their life whilst doing house work, using a floor toilet or simple squatting while having a break from standing, they also sit on the floor whilst eating and their hips are therefore very open and flexible. Westerners on the other hand, use chairs to relax, we don't do any house work in a squat and we eat dinner in a chair or even worse on the sofa in a slouch. Westerners slouch a lot more and generally are inflexible, unless they have done a lot of yoga, it's unlikely that the average westerner can do a squat. The girl in the video although from asian heritage, has grown up in the west and has all the western habits. I am English but i lived in Vietnam for 3 years, i was impressed with the way they squatted and slowly learnt how to do it, now i have great flexibility and my posture is also good.
