Mini Loop Band Side-Lying Clam

BeginnerResistance band

The banded clam isolates the glute medius and other hip rotators while you lie on your side. Because the mini band adds resistance beyond bodyweight, it delivers a stronger stimulus for hip stability, which supports better knee tracking and lower body control.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie on your right side with a mini band around both thighs, knees bent and feet stacked.

  2. 2

    Keep your feet pressed together throughout the movement.

  3. 3

    Open your top knee upward toward the ceiling without rolling your torso backward.

  4. 4

    Squeeze the glute at the top of the range.

  5. 5

    Lower the knee back down with control, then finish the set and switch sides.
