Thursday is here and ljclarkson2017 is providing another exercise progression to aid in gluteal activation for dancers 💃🏻. _ ljclarkson2017 is demonstrating a standing clamshell exercise. _ In the 1st video, emphasis is placed on maintaining engagement on the stance leg while opening the opposite leg. Foot must stay in contact with stance leg and no rotation can occur at the pelvis. _ 🎥 Video 2 demonstrates a more dynamic version of the standing clamshell. As you open the clam, rotate towards the movement on the stance leg. The rotation comes from the hip and not the pelvis when performing this exercise. _ Comment, Tag, and Share this progression to the dance world 🌍. _ #technique #exercise #balance #clamshell #dynamic #thursday #dancemedicine #performingarts #PT #strength #stability #bdifallschurch #bdi
