Move 3: ’Clam’

How to perform:

• Lie on your side with your knees slightly bent and legs stacked. Lift the top knee up, but don’t move your pelvis. Your legs should look like an open clamshell. Once the knee has reached its highest position, it should be directed straight toward the ceiling.
• Slowly bring your knee back down to the starting position. Do 30 seconds for each leg.

Health benefits: This move effectively targets the inner thigh muscles, tightens your abs, and straightens your back.
