This is a great tutorial for gesture and really what I was hoping to find.
The only difference between your approach and Proko (a popular online art tutor) is that he uses CSI lines to maybe catch entire portions of the body, like a single S line incorporating the leg, the back and the head.
I imagine he would say he would do that in order to maximise capturing the 'flow' of the motion, but I found his explanation to vague as to when to combine body parts in a single line.
Your approach always uses a separate line for each body part though and I like that, it makes sense.

Wow doing half ovals gesture is insanely helpful. Not only it does the work for gesture, it can indicate overlaps clearer then overlapping two circles which might cause confusion for some people.
