Part 1: Body Movements

Watch the video below about the different terms given for various movements of the body and take notes. Then, match the term with the proper description below. (Note that two of the terms below are not in the video. Match all of the ones in the video, then think about what the other two might mean!)

The video is also on eCLASS if you have difficulty playing it on campus.
