I love the clamshell exercise, too. I do this simple movement on the floor, from the comfort of my yoga mat (or carpet), and it’s done more for my hip mobility, core stability, and glute (buttock) strength than many other weighted exercises.
The squat certainly has its place in a strength training routine. There’s no denying this compound movement is a good one, strengthening multiple large muscle groups at once. But, it can be trying on the bones and joints, especially if you’re newer to weighted exercise or coming back from an injury, like me.
Jack Claxton has been at the sharp end of personal training for over a decade, yet even someone as well-versed in its benefits can occasionally lack the drive to exercise. “Motivation is huge,” says David Lloyd’s master trainer, who admits that his own motivation started to dip last year “even though I’ve been in this industry for 10-11 years.”
Despite committing his career to helping people fall in love with exercise, Claxton was falling out of love with it—hard.

A few weeks ago, the Veer Zara actress shared another video from her workout session, writing, “A strong spine is a base for both good health & character (sin). Here is the hanging back extension on the Cadillac for spine mobility & strength.
