Your Sixth Sense

You may not think about it all that much, but we all have a sixth sense - your sense of "proprioception". This is how we move our body parts without looking. But don't take it for granted. Without it, we'd be a hot mess. Imagine how difficult it would be to have to always be watching your feet in order to move them! Watch the video to learn more about how this sixth sense works.
