Seated clamshells are one of the most popular exercises prescribed by our clinicians.
This exercise is great for strengthening your legs, hips, glutes, and pelvis. Seated clamshells also help prevent injury and ease lower back tension by strengthening the core and lower back muscles.
Let’s give it a try!
1️⃣ Sit in a chair with your back straight and knees at a 45-degree angle while keeping your feet shoulder distance apart.
2️⃣ Place a resistance band around both legs above the knee cap.
3️⃣ Push the knees out as far as you can, then bring the knees slowly back to the center of the body.
