Clamshell

Description

Lie on your side with a band positioned around your thighs, just above the knees. Ensure your thighs are aligned perpendicular to your torso. Keep your feet together and slightly raise the top knee to create a gentle tension in the band, which is the starting position. Then, lift the knee as high as possible without moving the pelvis or hips. At the same time, press down with the lower leg to create an isometric muscle contraction.
