Side Plank Clam Lifts

BeginnerBodyweight

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. 1

    Lie on your side with knees bent and feet behind you, thighs in line with your torso.

  2. 2

    Prop yourself on the bottom forearm and rest your top hand on your hip.

  3. 3

    Engage your core to lift your hips so shoulders, hips, and knees form a straight line.

  4. 4

    From there, raise your top knee by squeezing your glutes and hip abductors.

  5. 5

    Pause briefly at the top.

  6. 6

    Lower with control, finish your reps, then switch sides.
