I lived in South Korea for 7 years back in my 20's and did the Asian squat almost daily without even thinking about it. I stopped when I returned to the United States. I'm 63 now and I would be lucky to get my thighs in a horizontal position. lol Thank you. I'm going to try to regain some of my youthful flexibility.
77 years old female and surprise surprise I just did my first Asian squat.......without any trouble.
WOW that is awesome to hear! Keep doing what you'r doing!
Im very non asian and was always able to do this, when i discovered other people couldn't do it i thought it was a flexibility thing, because i've done martial arts since 10
Yes! Anyone can do the Asian Squat! You are a perfect example of this! Strength + Flexibility = ASIAN SQUAT!
Ok Bruce
Thank you for the video. I am 64 years young and working on this for flexibility. Just retired from a desk job. Working on strength and tendon flexibility.
I’m not Asian but I’ve done this instinctively since I was a kid. I never stopped because it feels good and sort of relaxing haha.
Thanks Dr. LIn. Never heard that term lol ! It’s called Malasana or Garland in yoga…always love your videos. I am a yoga/mobility specialist with 25 years experience. I highly recommend Dr.LIn as he has treated myself and my boys🙏🏻
Thank you so much 🙏💖✨
i tried this for the first time today not expecting results this fast, after i was done stretching for a few minutes I was able to do this! Thank you
Nice! That's what we aim for!
As someone from East Africa, what u guys cll th asian squat was a daily occurrence for me and my family becuz that's how we had to sit when pooping lol. We didn't have this common seated toilet seats everyone uses todah. That deep squat was never painful but now my knees , hips hurt so much when I try to do it and I have to hold on to something
Hi ! I really like the idea of the knee gaping with the towel. Do you have a way for hip gaping for the femurs attached to the hip. I always feel impingement on my left hip and would like to gap the femur ball of the socket. Any help will be helpful thank you!😅
Typing this in an asian squat even tho I can't hold it for more than 2 minutes
Niceeeee
What if you have back issues also?
Does being in the Asian squat further stretch my ankles, hips and knees? I can get into it but it’s not super comfortable yet. I can only do it for like 30 seconds
I wasn't able to do the Asian squat but I was able to do the Slavic squat.
Lol it's the same
When I was in South Korea there was a whole bunch of older men squatting in a park talking & playing games. I was jealous. I can get into this position with the help of a TRX only. Will try these progressions.
Please come back and update us after trying these exercises!
How's it going
Asian Squat Is Good For Senior To Be able To Pick-Yourself-Up, When You Fall Or Slip Flat On foor.
Asian are not the only ones
Do the squat. People in African and South America have done it for thousand of years.
Yes it is quite a functional movmement. We know it is not just segmented to just asians exclusively. It is just what is the common name for it these days and could easily be the african squat.
Non Asian here. This is something I used to do a lot when I was younger like in my 20's but kind of got out of it. I'm in my 50's now and it has taken some practice but I can now do this easily again. It does become uncomfortable after about 15 minutes but I'll keep working on it.
I can do the asian squat, but i have a "butt wink" where the tailbone/lumbar gets pulled/curves inwards when i reach the bottom of the squat. Is there a fix?
Can this help with ankle problems? When i was 16 i hurt my ankle and idk if that could be a factor why i cant do it for long... is weight also a factor?
can you also pls do a video on how to do full/side splits :D thank u :D just subscribed!
i can't seem to do it anymore after mpfl surgery 😔
Sir i am not sitting and wake not supposed how?
We do not quite understand what you are trying to ask.
I call this the gangster squat.
Me who is Asian and can't do the Asian squat: 👁👄👁
I just realized I’ve been doing this when I was younger, without actually knowing what it was
I can do it now that I’ve had two knee replacement’s!
In LA that is an old Crip and Cholo squat but it’s Africans and Arabs that do it too.
Hi, I am easily able to do this yoga position (Thanks to we Indian using Indian toilets :D ) but I am unable to get up without holding any object these days. I sometimes take help of my bed or floor.. Is this normal or someone should have flexibility to go into this position and stand up straight.
Please explain how the towel exercise increases the flexion of the knees. Are tendons stretched out during the process…?
Thanks Anthony. Mostly joint capsules but some tendons and ligaments can bre sretched as well
This is hilarious!
lol
I think you secretly love saying " Asian Squat" 😂😂
Lmao literally smoking a cigarette while squatting as I watch this. Excited to send this to my 6’2 dad that has always been fascinated by my sister and I sitting like this all the time (we’re adopted).
Haha amazing! Most people can do it with a little work. Maybe your dad will be able to do it soon too :)
Lol I could do that when I was a kid. How about something for tight hamstrings.
Hey Ron! We have a few hamstring exercises on our channel! Hope they are able to help you!
My hamstrings were so tight for weeks, I could barely walk. I saw a video that said it was because of weak glutes. I did some glute bridges and got some immediate relief. It didn't go away immediately, but I've worked on strengthening my 3 glute muscles and and my hamstrings are almost completely better. Good luck.
I am not asian and i can do it how???
✍🏽🔥🔥🔥
I am white and have very short hamstrings but I have always been able to do a full Asian squat with my but about a millimeter from the ground comfortably
I stretch multiple times a week and I cannot get in the asian squad without falling on my back while some friends of me do a perfect deep squad and never did sport in theire lives. I start to believe its not only flexibility but the anatomy of your body
I Have this problem to, and I have better flexibility in my knees, hips, and ankles than alot of other people I see able to do this.
I haven't taken any proper measurements yet, but I think I fall back because I have long thighs.
That isn't to say I have long legs Over all, just that my fever bone is longer that normal compared to my shin as opposed to how most other people's are.
This would mean that my wieght is shifted back farther than other people causing me to fall back, you might have this issue as well. I suspect it to be this because I can get into that deep squat woth zero issues, and no falling back if I hold a counter wieght in front of me.
@@anthonypolonkay2681you're flexible, but not strong. Work on strength.
Not nearly down on my heels
I am asian and cant do it 😭
}}}GONG{{{{ 🌅
it ain’t my knees hon, it’s my feet/angles, they literally don’t bend like that
It can take time for your feet and calves to be able to stretch enough. If you start by doing it with your heels elevated on something you can work down from there.
Why would any person who is t disabled have a hard time doing this?
Not gonna lie, when I moved to Beijing to spend a few years there, one of the first things I saw was a man doing an Asian squat, and the first thought that went through my mind was "excuse me sir, you are not a zoo animal." I sorta felt bad about that later. But then I saw other things, like the defecation in public, the spitting on the floors of restaurants and hotel lobbies, the blowing your nose on your fingers and tossing the snot at trees. And I didn't feel so bad after that.
Ewww thank God Dr. Lin is Taiwanese
I wish i was born asian
It's 2022, just identify as Asian
@@Ultra1884 lol i guess
@@Ultra1884 LMFAO
@@newt2120anyone who grew up with low toilet seats can do it uts no just an aSian thing. As someone from East Africa, what u guys cll th asian squat was a daily occurrence for me and my family becuz that's how we used to sit with very low toilets when pooping lol. We didn't have this common high seated toilet seats everyone uses todah. That deep squat was never painful but now my knees , hips hurt so much when I try to do it and I have to hold on to something
Nice video. Too bad you ruined it with irritating background music. If my ears wore shoes it was like walking with a rock in the shoes. The best music for videos is NO music.
