Side Lying Clam

Expert Advice

Keep your hips stacked and move only your knee to open and close the clam, ensuring that your glutes are doing the work without rocking your pelvis.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie on your side with your legs stacked and knees bent at a 90-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 top knee as high as you can without moving your pelvis.
  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.
