- Initiate the movement by abducting your top leg
- Push your knee away from the midline of your body                                                                                        
- Maintain contact between your feet throughout the movement
- Complete the desired reps, then repeat on the opposite side

Banded Clamshells

- Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, or sitting on a ball, bench or chair; hold a set of dumbbells in each hand, palms facing down.
- Keeping your arms straight, raise the dumbbells up and out to the sides so that your hands are at shoulder level.
- Bring your hands to the front and then up over your head.
- Bring the hands back down to the front, open them to the sides, and then lower them back down. This is ONE repetition. 
- Keep your shoulders relaxed throughout each repetition, focusing on squeezing the muscles at the top of each motion and maintaining a slow, controlled tempo.
