Tips on performing the “Banded Clam Shell” Exercise

    • Watch our video.

    • Slide a looped band just above the knees

    • Lie on your side and bend your knees at a 90-degree angle, and stack your feet on top of one another

    • Open and close your knee slowly. Your top foot will pivot on the bottom foot

    • Go slow and controlled, and make sure your hip muscle is doing all the work; do not “roll backwards.” Keep the top hip still.

    • Alternate performing the exercise 10-12 times on each side for a total of 2-3 sets. Add 15-20″ holds on the last repetition for greater challenge
