What do you mean by squatting?
It means that your legs bend as much as possible, like sitting, but your hips don't touch the ground.

This squatting posture is actually related to people's toilet habits since childhood, and it is precisely related to people's stool posture. Asians have been used to squatting and defecating since ancient times. They are used to squatting since childhood, but they get used to it after a long time.

There is a saying that this squatting posture is related to the proportion of the body. When you do an Asian squat with long legs and short upper body, your center of gravity will be too backward and easy to lean back, so when you squat, you stand on tiptoe and lift your hips to maintain balance. This statement is actually wrong.
