Hip Clam Shell

Expert Advice

Focus on controlled movements and avoid using momentum. Keep your hips stacked to properly engage your glutes.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie on your side with your legs stacked and knees bent at a 45-degree angle.
  2. Rest your head on your lower arm, and place your top hand on your hip.
  3. Keeping your feet together, raise your upper knee as high as you can without shifting your hips.
  4. Pause at the top, then slowly lower your knee back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
