  • @canyildiz5966

    squatting has so many benefits. I squat down as often as I can. it decompresses my spine, flexes the knee joints, stretches out the muscles in the legs, and loosens the hips. if you're an athlete, these are particularly important. in fact, I've gone a step further: I sleep on a futon on the floor so that I have to get up in that way every day and eat on a small table inches above the ground. I feel the best I have ever felt in my entire life.

      Yes, I'm from NE and I can squat 300+ times at a go and sit in that position effortlessly for a long time. But, it's not because I belong to the NE region, it's because I practised squatting and have been squatting for years now.
      The truth is learning to forward bend using the hip hinge and hamstrings is much more important than even squatting. Nobody will tell you this.
      Anybody can do anything in this world just that it requires time, patience and consistency.
      Conscious repetition of a movement till you can do it unconsciously and effortlessly is the key.

  • @MarlonKingShow
    @MarlonKingShow 2 года назад +25

    I could barely walk the other day (lifting my toes was painful up front of leg), I realised afterwards, it was because I had started practising the squat a few days before. Surprising what different elements of the body it uses to do this simple movement. Defo will be continuing, ill start by just going down to squat a few times a day, then practise staying there for 30-60 seconds and build it up.

    It's not the first time I've heard something like this about squatting. However, for Westerners it seems like an impossible task; I can squat but I have to put a hand on the wall to keep the balance because I cannot keep my feet flat on the ground. Perhaps we should reintroduce the habit of sitting on the floor since a young age and eliminate chairs from kindergarten, schools and alike places.

      @csmihaly 4 года назад +69

      No, no, no. Your hips are tight. First place a flat weight under your heels, will make it easier, and gradually start lowering yourself - as if wanting to sit on a chair - while holding onto the door frame. Eventually you’ll loosen up. And will be able to get into that final position. Takes two months. Only. But remember, we worked our way into this contracted position for 40-50-60 years. If otherwise no damage already, like advanced arthritis etc. you’ll gain back your lost flexibility. Which is everything.

    I started squatting as soon as I wake up, as excercise warm up and cool down, before I go to sleep, and anytime I've been sitting for like an hour or something. At first it sucked but it actually became more comfortable than sitting. And I became more flexible and my knees became stronger. Funny it's so simple

    People have actually gotten upset with me for not taking a chair. My squatting somehow offends them. Too bad, I must say. Following my chiropractic doctor’s orders. 😁

      How remarkable that what you choose to do with your own free will, and your own sovereign body

    For the past 7 years I stand all day at a standing desk, and it's great. You don't need to spend a lot on one that adjusts up and down... Mine is fixed in the up position (tall legs) and if I ever need to sit at the desk I can pull up a stool. My desk was from Ikea and super inexpensive.
    Even better than a stool is to get rid of the stool. With a stool nearby and in view it's tempting to use it. So when mine broke 5 years ago I never bought a new one. Now standing all work day is actually much easier without that temptation.

    I’ve been thinking about this - if you can sit in a squat position, even into old age, it must be better, because you’ll be stronger in the leg muscles and more flexible too.

    Lived in Japan, actually, come to think of it, when I visited lots of Balkan countries, I think Turkey, too, have “squat” toilettes. The sitting toilette, in nice hotels for instance, was called the western style. Just recently, some of my doctors, actually addressed this, suggesting placing a small stool under the feet while sitting on toilette, mimicking this “squatting” pooping. Interesting. BTW. I believe this is the natural position delivering babies, too. Very interesting.

    • @direnbhatsavesoil9628
      @direnbhatsavesoil9628 3 года назад +7

      That style of sitting is called 'the asian squat'.
      These 'squat toilets' are from india. And colonization resulted them in becoming globalized.
      I always thought its famous in Asia. But u r from Japan and don't know bout it..? I wonder why.
      How are the traditional toilets in Japan. I believe that these 'sitting toilets' would have been introduced by America in Japan.

    A healthy habit is also to regularly place your computer on a high table (adjustable height legs) and do some work while standing. Height of the table can be just above your hips for a comfortable 90-100 degrees angle for the elbows. You will feel more productive also if having two desks. One low and one high.

    I'm pretty sure that people are aware that sitting isn't inherently good for you. Most realize it's unhealthy to sit in certain positions. The reason people don't keep good posture is because we're lazy as shit.

    • @Schnoogle
      @Schnoogle 7 лет назад +11

      MasterofPlay7 That's true as well, though things can usually be done to accomodate the people in those situations. If not, they should consider a different company if at all possible. I work in IT and sit on my ass all day, but my work is willing to do just about anything to make us comfortable. Not everyone can have that, but most people don't even give it a try in the first place.

    • @MasterofPlay7

      I agree with S, I think its more a lack of awareness and we have made standing and moving harder than sitting, we need to built it into our system, and make it a habit.
