Here are five ways to make the Clam exercise more challenging. Clams have a ton of research backing the activation of the glute med, while minimizing TFL recruitment. (This is one muscle that compensates leading to potential hip pain due to weak glute medius.) This is something that can be progressed fairly quickly, especially from your basic clam. It’s one exercise that is now a staple recommended from several of my PTs. | Nadia Ruiz
