This deep squat (often called the Asian squat) is actually a natural human resting position. Kids do it easily…but most adults lose the ability because we sit in chairs all day. And as we hit perimenopause and menopause, mobility becomes even more important for keeping our bodies strong and pain-free. This position can help 🫶🏽improve ankle mobility 🫶🏽open tight hips 🫶🏽support pelvic floor function 🫶🏽reduce lower back stiffness 🫶🏽maintain functional strength as we age If it feels impossible right now-don’t worry! That just means your body is asking for more mobility work.🥰 Try holding this squat for 20–30 seconds a day and watch how quickly things start to loosen up. Because the goal isn’t just “being skinny”…The goal is to be strong, mobile and capable for life.💪🏽 Cool vibes… even when the hips are a little spicy. 😏🔥💜
