The article from MSN discusses the benefits and execution of the clamshell exercise, particularly highlighting its advantages for runners. The clamshell targets the gluteus medius, a muscle crucial for hip stability and leg alignment, which can help prevent injuries like IT band syndrome and improve running efficiency. To perform the exercise, one lies on their side with knees bent at a 90-degree angle, feet together, and then lifts the top knee while keeping the feet in contact, mimicking the opening of a clamshell. Variations include adding resistance bands or changing the angle of the legs. The article emphasizes the importance of proper form to maximize benefits and avoid compensatory movements, and suggests incorporating the exercise into a regular routine to enhance hip strength, stability, and overall running performance.
