Side Bridge Clam

1. 1Set up in a side bridge position with your forearm on the ground and feet staggered or stacked, then add a clam motion by lifting the top knee up toward the ceiling while maintaining the lateral plank position. This combines lateral core stability with hip external rotation in a loaded side-bridge context, challenging the obliques and glutes simultaneously. Breathe out as you lift the knee and in as you lower, keeping the hips elevated and the trunk rigid throughout. Avoid letting the hips drop when the knee lifts — feel the lateral core holding the bridge position while the glute rotates the hip independently.
