亚洲蹲 Asian Squat 到底是啥？

The deep squat, where you plop your butt down as far as it can go while staying aloft and balanced on the heels, in contrast to deep squatting on your toes as most Americans naturally attempt instead.

初级蹲姿：脚掌完全着地
进阶蹲姿：两脚并拢、脚尖朝前

蹲厕 squat toilet
从古罗马开始，西方世界的厕所就都是坐便式的了…

几乎所有亚洲人都能做到，但只有13.5%的美国人才能做到
Yet this ability that comes so naturally to cavemen and to babies has been lost to many Western toilet sitters—and it’s not so easy to get it back.

“The squat is a triple flexion movement. You’ve got bending at the hips, knees, and ankle, so you have to fold everything up underneath you.”

the key factor seems to be ankle flexibility

Quora上外国朋友的评价：
It’s pretty noticeable when you first arrive and make a lot of jokes about how it looks like everyone’s getting ready to unload into a toilet... but when you start doing it and it feels awesome. Great for the lower back.
