Improving the squat

Mastering a skill like a squat is actually "RE-learning" a natural resting position.
If we take a look at the asian & african regions squatting is actually a habit.
 



 Looking back to the days we played as kids, squatting was a very normal thing to do. We played on the ground sitting in a squat, we took sand & rocks as snack sitting in a squat, untill someday we lost the ability to do so.




We were made for squatting, moving & playing like kids. Somewhere during growing up we just lost our movement gamma. The amount of different "rich moves" as a child has been overwhelmed by the poor, static postures & movements we make as adults. Because of the invention of PC's, smartphones & videogames the age of immobility has already reached school-going youngsters

“Enrich yourself with the gamma of movement, the richer it is, the more of nature sudden surprises you can handle” -Ido Portal-

The big  culprit in this story is the "chair". From the time we entered  elementary school our bodies were doomed to alter.

Luckily this process is also reversible, we only need time to relearn the pattern again.
Our brain has a special ability called SAID (specific adaptations to imposed demands) or "neuroplasticity".
"The brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Neuroplasticity allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to compensate for injury and disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment." 

Simply put:
"use it or lose it"
In most people's cases it'll sound more like "use it and regain it"

learning a motor skill involves focusing attention on each part of the skill and internalizing proper execution. Like I said before, a squat isn't a skill to require, you are born to do this.
Remaster it, claim your movement freedom again & scour the grounds like we used to do.

Guidelines

First step: squat more often!!

these videos below where a big inspiration for me getting myself more on the ground, make sure you watch them. Gratitude for the inspiration towards Ido Portal & Kelly Starret.

For sedentary people, getting into a comfortable squat can take a long time
But rest assured --> SAID
