Banded Clamshells

Step 1: Lie on the floor on your side with your legs bent at around 90 degrees at the knees, knees on top of each other and forward so you feel supported. Place a resistance band just above your knees.

Step 2: Keeping your hips straight and ?stacked? on top of each other, raise the top knee up towards the ceiling, keeping your feet together, like a clamshell. Squeeze your glutes to drive the movement, making sure your pelvis doesn?t roll backwards as you raise your knee.

3. Step 3: Return to the starting position.

Banded Flying Clamshells

Step 1: Follow the instructions for a Banded Clamshell (above) except instead of keeping your heels together during the movement, raise the top leg and foot 1 foot off the ground when hinging at the hip.

Step 1: Lie on the ground, knees bent, feet together, with a band placed just above your knees.

Step 2: Keeping your knees bent and your feet together, press your hips upwards until your hips come level with your knees, then press knees outward against the band (the clamshell part of the exercise).

Step 3: Pause briefly, and then slowly lower your body to the starting position before the next rep.

Banded Squat to Lateral Leg Lifts

Step 1: Begin in a standing position, feet shoulder width apart, toes pointed slightly out from parallel with a resistance band placed at your ankles. This is the same position as if you were going to do an Air Squat.

Step 2: Keeping your weight in your heels, bend your knees and lower your buttocks down and back, as if being pulled from a belt (the squat part of the exercise).

Step 3: Using your arms as a counterbalance, push your knees outwards as you squat, using the band for resistance.

Step 4: Return to the starting position, then transfer your weight to one leg and kick out to the side with the other leg, using the band as resistance.

Step 5: Return to the starting position and repeat, kicking out the other leg.

Banded Standing Kickbacks


Step 1: Begin in a standing position with a resistance band around your ankles. Holding your core tight, transfer your weight to one leg and raise one leg back and slightly to the side, using the band as resistance.

Step 2: Be sure and keep your upper body straight?no leaning!

Step 3: Return to the starting position and repeat on the other leg.

Banded Standing Leg Abductions

Step 1: Begin in a standing position with a resistance band around your ankles. Holding your core tight, transfer your weight to one leg and raise the other one out to the side, using the band as resistance.

Step 2: Be sure and keep your upper body straight?no leaning!

Step 3: Return to the starting position and repeat on the other leg.

Banded Forward? & Backward Squat Walks

Step 1: Stand with your feet together and secure the band above your knees. Lower into a squat.

Step 2: Hold this low squat as you step forward with one foot, stepping away from your body at about a 45 degree angle, then repeat with the other foot, alternating legs as you walk.

Step 3: When you?re finished with your forward reps, repeat stepping backwards, stepping away from your body at about a 45 degree angle with each foot until you return to your starting place.

Step 4: Stay as low as possible throughout the movements.
