How to do Side-Lying Clam:

Step 1: Start by laying on your side. Your arm (side you are laying on) should be bent under your head/neck for support. The other hand should be on the outside of the hip (side that is in the air) for support. Torso should be straight down to your knees. Your knees need to be bent with your legs at a 45 degree angle, and your feet together.
Step 2: While keeping your torso and feet stationary. Spread your knees as far apart as you can. Then return knees back to starting position.
Step 3: Repeat exercise for as many reps as desired and then repeat for opposite side.
