Why Can't Everyone Do the 'Asian Squat'?

As an American male with more than a bit of fat on my belly, that doesn't seem to inhibit squatting at all.

Some jeans (or other tight-fitting, inflexible pants) with particular cuts might, though.

I have trouble squatting at the office, but that is because like you say. Jeans are terrible!

At home I can squat for about 30 seconds or so before it starts to get uncomfortable. I can do it, but haven't built up the endurance as we never use those muscles!

Also, there is no good reason to squat in an office. I'm thinking of bolting a Gameboy to the floor so you have to squat to play Tetris.

That's the reason why for some time now I only buy jeans with stretch. Way more comfy and they don't restrict movements so much - can jump stair steps two, three at a time.
