In India, we believe sitting with your leg hanging is not healthy. We usually sit on the floor which will restrict blood flow to the lower part of the body, resulting in more blood to the upper body where most of the vital organs are.
Yogis/Rishis sit for months in that cross legged posture without any issues.
Standing/Jogging/Walking is not the opposite of sitting. We need to learn how to sit properly

- enthukarthik 9y ago:) I'm saying sitting comfortably on the floor with cross legged.
