Since the beginning of this year, I have begun to squat (and sit on my haunches) for 15 minutes daily. The target is to do this comfortably for at least 30 minutes by the end of the year. In my country (India), in the villages, you are likely to see people sit like this, even into their 90s. Meanwhile, here I am, in mid 30s, unable to do this even for 5 minutes, complaining of knee and back problems.
- singularity2001 9y agoI wonder how it can be healthy for knees and bloodflow at all, given the squashed and torqued position of the knees
- oblio 9y agoI assume that people who do this have an active lifestyle anyway. So they might be physically fit not because of the squats, but despite the squats :)
- peteretep 9y agoIf the knees are taking a lot of strain, you're not distributing your weight properly
