Clamshells for Glute Medius Activation | GPS Human Performance

Turn those Glute Medius' on with Clamshells. This is a great isolation exercise to get your glutes active before hitting the weights. Start with 2-3 sets of 10-20 reps with a 2-3 second pause at the top to peak your glute activation.

Thank you! No more IT band pain during my runs. 2 months of no running, core and glute exercises (clamshell and lateral walking with resistance band), as well as shortening my running stride! I'm so happy

Is it a problem if the hip flexor is activated in this exercise? If so, how can one prevent this

[QWNSWORDS]

This doesn't isolate the glut med. You have to roll the hip forward to isolate that.
