Standing Clamshell
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place your hands together, in front of your face, for balance.
- Lower your body by bending your knees until you're in a half-squat position.
- Bring your knees close together, until they're almost touching. This is your starting position.
- Rotate your knees outwards, away from your body, engaging your outer hips and glutes.
- Hold the position for a moment, then slowly bring your knees back to the starting position.
- Continue the movement for your desired number of repetitions.
Notes
Use a resistance band around your knees to increase the difficulty of the exercise.
