    1. Walking: You walk by putting one foot in front of, or sometimes behind, the other. You support the body by one leg first, and then the other, swinging your arms gently as you move forward.
    2. Leaping: You leap by lifting yourself and land on the balls of your feet.
    3. Running: You run by swinging your arms fast while your legs leap one after the other.
    4. Skipping: An example of this is the skipping rope exercise, you spring by jumping up and down while you use the rope to circle you.
    5. Hopping: This is when you spring on one foot and land on the same foot.
    6. Sliding: An example of this is when you play on a slider, you climb up from a ladder, and slide down on the other smooth surface.
    7. Jumping: This is when you spring from the ground as if you are bouncing.
    8. Leaping: This is to spring on one foot and land on the other foot.
