The clamshell: a classic glute activator, but only if done right. It’s not about how *high* you lift your knee, it’s about staying stacked and controlling the movement. Useful for: ✅ Low back pain ✅ Hip & knee pain ✅ Prepping for walking, running, or summer outdoor activities like gardening Form tips: 1. Keep hips stacked - don’t roll back 2. Heels stay together 3. Control the lift and slowly lower 4. You should feel it deep in the side glute, not the front of your hip or low back I use this one

A clamshell is an okay place to start for glute med/min work but I wouldn’t stay there long! You’ll target your outer hip more effectively with movements like side plank leg lifts (from knees or feet), resisted hip abduction and single leg RDLs. Another sneaky glute med exercise that I love is a weighted step up but you hold the weight in your opposite hand. Give one of these a try in your next strength session! #strengthtrainingforrunners #glutestrength #injuryprevention #physiotherapist | Runn
