Clamshell Instructions

1. Lie on your side with your knees slightly bent and with one leg on top of the other.
2. Keep your feet together and lift your top knee until it’s parallel with your hip.
3. Lower your knee back to the initial position, repeat, and then switch sides.

Proper Form And Breathing Pattern

When doing the clamshell exercise, keep your upper body static and maintain a neutral spine. Rotate your hip to lift the knee and breathe out. Keep your core tight to avoid rolling back and, as you breathe in, lower your leg back to the starting position.
