Clamshell exercise guide with instructions, demonstration, calories burned and muscles worked. Learn proper form, discover all health benefits and choose a workout. https://www.spotebi.com/exercise-guide/clamshell/

Primary muscles: Hips, glutes
Secondary muscles: Inner and outer thighs
Equipment: No equipment

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.

EXERCISE BENEFITS

The clamshell is a great exercise to strengthen your hips, inner and outer thighs, tone your glutes and stabilize your pelvic muscles.

    I just completed 4 weeks of the weight loss plan. I cannot believe how much my body has changed in such a short period of time. I am wearing clothes that I couldn't fit in a year ago. A week before my 57th birthday - I am pretty damn happy!
