Side Plank Clamshell
1 - Begin in a side plank position on your right side, with your right forearm on the ground and your elbow directly below your shoulder.
2 - Stack your feet on top of each other or stagger them slightly for stability, keeping your hips lifted off the ground and your body in a straight line.
3 - Bend your knees to approximately 45 degrees while maintaining the side plank position, keeping your feet together.
4 - Without dropping your hips, slowly rotate your top knee upward toward the ceiling as far as comfortably possible, mimicking a clamshell opening.
5 - Pause briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing your glutes and outer hip muscles.
6 - Slowly lower your top knee back down to meet the bottom knee in a controlled manner.
7 - Complete all desired repetitions on one side before switching to the left side and repeating.
