The Work · Move 5 of 10 · 10–12 each side
Why this one
Now the hips and glutes — the clam wakes up the deep stabilizers that keep you strong and level.
How to do it
Lie on your side, knees bent and stacked at 45 degrees, heels together. Open the top knee toward the ceiling, then lower it with control.
Keep in mind
Keep the hips stacked — don’t let the pelvis roll back.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor — a gentle lift, never a clench — and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
