I am now14 days into squatting, and squatting has become my favorite exercise, even if it still hurts like hell. Nothing beats perfect pooping after being constipated for years.

There is another thing we naturally do in this position: give birth! This is how I instinctively gave birth at home, and how I managed 2 hours of pushing - I was in a birthing tub, hanging on to my husband's wrists as he sat opposite me out of the water. It was hard, but no injuries to me or baby (who just turned 14!) As a lifelong ballet dancer, this position felt natural and relatively easy.

This used all the time in many village in the middle east & India.

I started my journey of learning to squat comfortably 15 years ago at age 55. The older you are the longer it takes. We are all born with the ability to squat comfortably, but lose it by the age of 2 unless it is part of our culture. My advice is to go very slow and be gentile with your body. All life forms avoid pain and discomfort instinctively. So if a person tries to push through the pain, the subconscious mind will naturally want to avoid repeating the activity that caused the pain. There is no hurry. Perfection lies down the road, you will never get there, but just keep walking. Or squatting. After 15 years I'm 90% there. About the same time I set a goal to be able to sit in the full lotus position comfortably, and I'm 80% there. My new goal is to be able to stand up from the cross legged position without using my hands! I'm only 5% there.

Slavs approve of your exercise.

I accidentally found out about this a few years ago. More like 5 to 6 years ago and it really changed my life. Just spending more time on floor has healed me up quite a bit and yes, digestion will follow once we start sitting in this position more often.

I am 77 I totally agree with everything here. I have been doing Crossfit since I was 70. And yes, you can do it you are older, you just need to hold to something and go as far as you can. I would only that it is important to keep you back straight at all time (back extended). And no you won’t wreck your knees. Good luck!

Thankfully in the eastern and african and arab world this is how we poop. And how we set. And because of that we have tremendous power on our lower body. For example My grandfather he is vert fat. About 120KG WEIGHT (ABOUT 280 POUNDS) AND 89 years old. And because of this position in our nature he is still driving cars and doing everything a young person can do normally. And walk for hours. And don't have any illness like blood pressure or diabetes.

I did 20 minutes squating yesterday before bed. Squated som more now in the morning. Have be'n two times at toilet already. This works!

My hips got so tight from sitting I can hardly walk and am in a lot of pain. I've found squatting helps reduce the pain and increase mobility. I started this after my Tai chi instructor talked about the health benefits of squatting. I use to call it the VC squat from when I was overseas.

actually this was pretty eye opening -- never thought of this before, thanks

Thanks and blessings from Uruguay 🇺🇾. I was squatting while listening to you. My first 6 minutes!

My boys have always done this. They love to read and draw in that position. It is indeed very natural.

I used to wonder how catchers (baseball) would be able to squat like that for an entire game. I was always amazed by that. This is interesting.

Sometimes when I've had a long rough day at work I cannot wait to get home and get on the floor. This is one of many techniques I use for healing

I love this tip. I do it on a regular basis since I got your advice in one of your previous video. That's a great habit. Thanks to remark the importance of that position.

Basically, As a minimalist who aims to live simple and be healthy by making my lifestyle as close to the conditions under which we evolved as I can manage - this video really motivates me to expand the concept of squats as strength training in the gym into squats as a natural way to sit instead of on my butt on a chair or sofa.

I watched a video this morning, in it he gave it a dozen different terms describing the common history as it is a natural position practiced in many cultures, I'm adding it to my daily routine starting tomorrow, I'm giving it a name!

I love the yoga pose Malasana. It’s a deep squat were you also push the knees to the side. It’s soooo good!!! But whenever I want to do it in my stretching classes that I teach NO ON can even come into this position, not even the 20 year olds! 😳

I've recently tried to up my squat game and have loved incorporating more of the resting squat position. Just as a general deep stretch I've always loved it. But as I've recently been learning more in depth about the benefits of it daily and in so many other areas of life, I have tried to keep it going more intentionally and focused. Admittedly, as this video came through my feed, as I folded laundry while sitting on the bed, I asked myself, 'Why am I on the bed? I could be squating.' And proceeded to watch the video and fold the rest of the laundry and then comment about it, 😁, while in the resting squat position. 💪👍 Full disclosure; I'm gonna stand up now. Be well!

Instead of being detriment, my workplace gave me the perfect excuse to deep squat.

Putting a 2x4 under my heels made all the difference for me. I was able to hold the position for almost 5 minutes before things began going numb. I can't wait to do this challenge. I'm expecting it to fix ankle range of motion, weak knees, and low back pain issues. Thanks for the video!

@@Mikey11001 there’s a muscles that connects to the femur called psoas, it’s known to give you anxiety and a feeling of impending doom when it’s tight

I could already deep squat while watching this video but as someone who works at home a lot, I tend to feel pain in my knee, lower back and my glutes. I’ve always loved doing squats but only as a work out and not really sitting in it for 30 mins of the day. Let’s just say I’m down for the challenge. Let’s do this 💪🏽 btw I already feel a bit better after sitting in it for 5 mins

I'm envious my 2 year old son can drop into a squat for as long as he wants. I'm burning good after 1 minute

Thx so much this is very inspiring, healthy & u r accurate it helps the whole body , I do yoga but squats are my new additions to my daily exercise appreciates your advise

I have been doing this for the last 3 years, but it came naturally from yoga. I always incorporate binds and rotations for extra benefit. Once you have mastered primal squat (Malasana) people should incorporate Skandasana (half squat) for even greater natural movement benefit.

No fap , semen retention, cold showers, eating healthy, exercise, more sleep , yoga , meditation, and now deep squatting I may just take off and fly next I’m like a super hero

Thanks for the tip bro I will definitely try it out 💯💪💯

I am definitely going to try this. Love the advice

Seems really practical. And all you gotta do is reach down and pull the tyke out

Makes sense seeing when u have to push it’s the sensation of doing #2. It’s probably better that way.

@cynthia even here in arabia the same. My grandmother about 13 births and had no problem at all. She even give birth alone with no need to anyone because of this squatting nature we do here.

It's probably way batter and smoother than given birth lying down. Maybe less painful too.

I have finished 30 days and am continuing 10 minutes 3 times a day, probably for the rest of my life. This could be the best exercise that I have ever done.

Great video!! I will be turning 59 years old next month and I just tried it. I look like a duck sticking its tail feathers in a bucket. Tried it again holding onto a support beam and I can get into a much better squat because it balances out my form, but I do feel it in my knees because I have patella problems. I take spin cycle classes which has definitely helped strengthen my knees.
