你聽說過亞洲蹲嗎 老外說臣妾做不到啊
Have you heard of the Asian squat? It’s when the squatter keeps their heels firmly planted on the ground instead of rising up on their toes.
你聽說過亞洲蹲嗎?蹲的時候兩腳跟牢牢地紮在地面，腳趾頭不可向上翹起。
This form allows for a more comfortable squatting position. The weight is more centered on the heels rather than the balls of your feet and knees, giving more support.
這種蹲法體態更爲舒適，重量集中在腳後跟而不是前腳掌和膝蓋，支撐力更佳。
Originating in India, the squat made its way to China, where Asians figured that it was the ideal way to eat rice and be ready to defecate at any given time. What is it about Asians that give them the unique ability to the Asian squat?
起源於印度，一路傳到中國，亞洲人認爲這是吃飯和隨時排泄的最好方式。到底是什麼特別能力讓亞洲人駕馭亞洲蹲呢?

就比例而言，東亞人比起多數美洲人來說腿短些，所以蹲下來時平衡點不同。

Asians are the only race that can do the Asian squat? No. We can all do the Asian squat. But it is not biological or even sociological; it is as simply a matter of flexibility. Stretch two or three times per day every day of the week and within a few months you’ll have no problem with a comfortable flat footed squat.
亞洲人是不是唯一會亞洲蹲的種族?並非如此。大家都能亞洲蹲，這不是出於生理或者社會因素，只是靈活性而已。只要每週天天拉伸兩三次，只需數月便能雙腳穩紮地面舒適自宜地亞洲蹲了。
