The Clam in extension works the hip abductor muscles but in a slightly different way to the Clam in flexion exercise. Use a resistance band to ensure the exercise is difficult enough to work the muscles sufficiently.

Teaching Points:
- Lie on your side with your knees bent and your hips moved further back into the extension
- This targets the muscles on the outside of the hip in a slightly different way
- It is important to do these exercises on both sides
- If you begin to find this exercise easy then you can increase difficulty with a stronger band
- 4 sets for 30 seconds
