Anatomical Terms of Direction- Applying Location Terminology to Exercise

Here is a very basic video of some terms you should be familiar with. These directional terms include- Posterior, Anterior.. Posterior being the back of the body and anterior the front. Inferior and superior... Inferior being a lower portion of the body in comparison to a higher part. Lateral and medial- Lateral means away from the midline of your body, so lateral raises is a lateral movement. Medial means closer to your mid line.

Is lateral and medial the same as abduction and adduction?

@samasaurasrex

Abduction and adduction are movement terms. I will cover that in the next video. Lateral and medial are just directional terms, for example if you want to compare your ears to your nose, your ears are further from your midline so you would say your ears are lateral to your nose. Abduction is the movement when you are doing lateral movements. Good question

@DjGoGo09

That's why I made this video. I am shocked that you have not heard of these terms 3 years deep. Please run a google search for more info.
