How to perform the clamshell
- Lie on your side with your legs bent at a 90-degree angle and your feet together. Rest your head on your arm or a pillow. Keeping your feet touching, lift your top knee as high as you can without moving your pelvis or lower back. Slowly lower your knee back to the starting position and repeat. Switch sides to work the other leg.
