Banded Clamshell
Secure a resistance-band loop around your thighs just above your knees, then lie on your side with your knees and hips stacked and your knees bent 90 degrees. Bend your bottom elbow and rest your head on top of it. Keep your feet together as you open your top leg by rotating in your hip. Slowly return to the start. Complete all reps on one side, then switch.
