This version of the Clam encourages more stabilisation of your trunk because your feet are off the ground, therefore uses more activation of your deep core muscles. Great for Lumbo-pelvic stability.

Set up as for Clams. Before you begin the leg movement, hover your feet so your heels are nearly at the height if yuor hips. Make sure you don't sink through your waist as you lift. You may need to place a hand on the ground for stability initially but as your core strength improves you should be able to maintain this position without using your hand.
Squeeze yuo heels together and your glutes at the same time to raise the knee, keeping the heel and glute squeeze when you lower. Special Notes |
