Prepared by: Mr. Salazar

3. Body Shapes
There are different parts of your body
that help you move and do everyday
activities. These body parts enable you to
do specific movements even if you are just
standing in place or moving around. You
have to move these body parts properly
so you could do the things that make you
active and useful.

4. Body Shapes
There are different body
shapes you can do. These are
STRETCH, CURL, TUCK, and
TWIST. Your body does one or
many of these shapes every
time you move.

5. Stretch
You do this body
shape when you
extend your
body or limbs
(arms and legs).

6. Curl
You do this body
shape when you
form your body
into a curved or
spiral shape.

7. Tuck
You do this body
shape when you
bend your knees,
draw your thighs
closely to your
chest, and clasp
your hands
around your legs.

8. Twist
You do this body
shape when you
turn a part of
your body to form
a curl or spiral
shape while the
rest of the body is
fixed.

9. PE for Life
Your body can always form one or
more body shapes. Everything you do
takes on a body shape. Remember to do a
body shape that fits a particular situation.
For example, in an emergency you need
to tuck your body to protect some of its
important parts.
