ABS
Side Plank Clam Lifts
This move blends a side plank with a clamshell, so the obliques hold your body up while the glutes and hip abductors open your top knee. The unstable side-plank base makes the whole core work harder. It's a beginner-friendly builder of stability, hip, and core strength.
How to do it
- 1
Lie on your side with knees bent and feet behind you, thighs in line with your torso.
- 2
Prop yourself on the bottom forearm and rest your top hand on your hip.
- 3
Engage your core to lift your hips so shoulders, hips, and knees form a straight line.
- 4
From there, raise your top knee by squeezing your glutes and hip abductors.
- 5
Pause briefly at the top.
- 6
Lower with control, finish your reps, then switch sides.
