Conclusion
Now that you know the many movements that we can do with our body, it is time to take them to practice and enjoy playing.
Being aware of everything our body is capable of doing is very important to perform our daily activities. And do not forget, all objects have their place in space. It is very important to be clear these concepts in case you are going to give any indication or need to ask for something.
