Squat challenge and its benefits?

The "Squat Challenge," as discussed by Ido Portal on the Huberman Lab, involves accumulating 30 minutes each day in the squat position as a resting stance, rather than just as a strength exercise. This challenge aims to reintroduce squatting as a natural and fundamental resting position, which has largely been replaced by sitting in modern lifestyles. The benefits highlighted include improving dynamics and openness of movement, which is crucial for tasks like gathering or even in natural elimination processes. Additionally, engaging in such challenges aids in reconnecting with body movements that have been lost due to modern sedentary habits 1.
