about what is commonly known as the Asian squat.

That's when you squat with your heels flat on the ground.

This form allows for a more comfortable squatting position

seeing that your weight is centered in your heels

rather than the balls of your feet and knees.

It's great for eating a cheese stick.

Reading a book.

Playing video games!

And many more.

Let's see if the office can do it.

Do you know what the Asian squat is?

- An Asian person squatting,

like what you're doing right now?

- When we poop?

- Like the exercise.

- I'm not sure I know the difference

because I only know one way of squatting.

- Can you show me how you usually squat?

- Ah, the center of my weight

is over the balls of my feet.

- I guess it's on my front toes.

- Oh it's on the toes.

- Can you Asian squat?

- This is like sort of a yoga position.

- Ah, how do you center your gravity like that.

- It's less tiring since its like evenly spread.

- It hurts a little.

- When I was in China, I noticed a lot of toilets

were squatting toilets.

- I observed it for many years.

Ah, in the land of China.

You'll just see old men by the side of the road,

hanging out, engaging in business and commerce.

- Actually, I hear white men, especially have really bad

mobility getting into the back of their heels.

Asians have more flexible hip flexors.

I've researched this.

- So it seems like a lot of people in the office

can do the Asian squat regardless of their race.

Can you do the Asian squat?

- I'm Asian so I thought everyone squatted this way.
