@shahee6579 For stretching in general, you can split it into 30 second holds. For learning deep squat, you can go for longer such as 1 or 2 minute holds. If you can already do 1 hold for 10 minutes, you probably have that movement sufficiently mastered.
It took me less than a few months of trying once or twice per day to go from having an inch space under my heels to being able to go from squat to seated and back up to squat again. It truly has made my 44year body feel better. Thank you to @StrengthSide channel for the reminder and for you for bringing up again
That means you'll progress quickly though. I've been doing calisthenics for years, in the past I could do 1-2 stretch sessions a week and saw significant improvement (due to my formerly sedentary lifestyle), now 3 years in it takes a lot longer and a lot more focused effort to achieve noticeable progress. Right now it's great for you, you can do basically any stretches and you'll notice improvements very quickly.
It's mean that strech is too advanced for you. Strech isn't suppose to hurt, but to relax the muscles and the mind, so if you feel any pain or disconfort, I suggest to not go too far or to simply find another exercice to not hurt your joints. Another thing, we are not build equally. Some folks could do it waking up in the morning, without doing any regual physics exercices, while some gym instructors would never reach a few positions. Another thing, your body needs to warm up a bit, it will prevent injuries and allow you to go a bit further. Long deep breathing to help you relax will also help you improve your streching. Take care 😉

@@Dkli_wonwell it doesn't always have to be poopoo time. We do it all the time squatting and standing, squatting and walking, it's all just normal here. Since the east is also installing western seat toilets everywhere. Idk why, they aren't even good for you. Squat toilets are far better for you anal health.
My body is wrecked (knee replacement, back) but somehow, i can sit like this comfortably and it feels great. I urge everyone to keep trying even if you find it hard at first 👍
Evolutionarily, it's the best way to sit! Great for the joints and ankles, and very comfortable when you get used to it. I'm glad you're able to stretch like this!
You're like the Bill Nye of body mobility and I'm here for it 💯 I feel like they should be playing these videos in P.E. class 😄 Super helpful and great to know
I can honestly say this has bern the most effective intervention in eliminating my knee and hip pain. Went from unable to go past 90 degrees hip /knee flexion to butt to heels. Feels great
I just sit like this 😅 my friend is from Korea (when she was super young, but Korean family too) and people look at us super weird when we're like in a super long line or waiting somewhere for a long time and we just squat like nothing for however long without thinking about it.
Is it okay to butt wink while doing this (body weight, not under load)? I notice my hips curve under and my spine can’t stay super straight when I’m sitting at the bottom
@@kaushalc9298 (as far as I know) basically when your tailbone curves under at the bottom of your squat and it breaks the straight line of your spine and leaves you open to injury
Im 63yrs -- broke my back 10 months ago and then 5 months later broke my ankle (not a great year) BUT i work out/stetch every day and today was finally able to do this squat again on the previously-broken ankle -- brought tears of joy !!! Thanks for your great input.
I didn’t realize this was hard for people to do. I do it in the store for the bottom shelf items, to think, to take a break after my set. It’s such a comfy position to be in.
Have you seen how gorillas or toddlers squat? Their backs are ''live", it looks like they are pushing their stomach and chest out. They keep a curve in their low back. That curve also keeps them from getting injured. When your feet are on the floor and you're in a squat you could try keeping your spine straight, shoulders back, and lean forward with your hips. May take time yet work on keeping your feet on the floor, staying in a squat, shoulders back, shoulders passing between your and your chest going to the floor. Also in the squat put the inside of your hands together, elbows on the inside of your knees and push your knees outward to your left and right. This helps to open the hips. Eventually having your feet on the floor, elbows on the inside of your knees and your hands no longer touching because you have improved flexibility so much.
Yeah, half Indonesian, so I was tought to sit like that 😊 At 38 I still sit like that often, I love the looks of people when I sit and stand up easy 🤷♀️
Definitely going to do this. When I do a deep squat, I feel myself getting on the balls of my feet rather than staying planted. I also feel a slight pain in my left knee.
HollyF this guy is so fking good at what he is doing. Following his videos, I did manage to use my left shoulder again. Hopefully following this one, I will manage to restore my right ankle as well.

yea i’ve been doing it since i got my first back pains it helps

sounds like you need to improve ankle mobility. You can also put something under your heels to elevate yourself a little and avoid butt wink.

Does it matter if I have buttwink but can still squat all the way down? Or should I only go as low as my posture dictates?
