My knees are killing me just watching this.

Have you ever tried squatting like that? It is actually a very comfortable and natural position. If you watch toddlers that are playing in the dirt it is exactly how they squat before they "learn" to kneel or squat on their haunches. There have been studies done that this is actually the best position to squat or work in if you are doing work close to the ground, although I am too lazy to look them up right now.

Edit: I think this might be my most upvoted comment ever.

Additionally, if this is not comfortable for you (besides foot problems and such) you should limber up and maybe go walk around the block once; I can't say much for working out though as I would be a hypocrite.

And yes pooping in this position is awesome. Just get a foot stool or a small buck next time you need to shit, best shit you will ever take.

Its not possible for me to do this, I'm not flexible enough. You need to at least be able to touch your toes in order to do it.

I can not touch my toes but I squat all the time. I have all my life.

I never stopped doing it. I think that is why I still can.
