CLAMSHELL
Sets: 2
Reps: 15
Lie on your side with your hips, knees and ankles stacked. Hips are at about 45 degrees and knees bent to 90.
Keeping your ankles together, exhale and lift the top knee towards the ceiling. This movement should be driven from your top glute medius muscle.
Avoid rotating your pelvis back to lift the knee higher.
Inhale as you lower the knee back down.
Tip: It’s important to feel this working the posterolateral hip (side glute area). If you feel it in the front of your hip, groin or hamstrings, try adjusting the angle of your hips. Many have more luck with their hips being close to neutral position.
