The side-lying hip clam and kick exercise targets improving hip stability and strength. By lying on one side and performing a clam movement followed by a leg kick, it engages the gluteal muscles effectively. This exercise helps in enhancing pelvic stability and strengthening the lateral hip musculature.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your side with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
  2. Keep your feet together and raise your top knee, performing a clam motion.
  3. Extend your top leg into a kick, straightening it while maintaining balance.
  4. Slowly return your leg to the starting clam position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.
