Common questions
What can I do instead of the Band Lying Straight Leg Raise?
The closest substitutes are the Flag, Sit-Up and Cocoons. Each trains the abs as its primary muscle, so sets and reps can stay the same as your Band Lying Straight Leg Raise programming.
Is there a bodyweight alternative to the Band Lying Straight Leg Raise?
Yes — the Flag trains the abs with no added weight. Progress by adding reps, slowing the tempo, or adjusting leverage.
Can I just rotate these with the Band Lying Straight Leg Raise?
Yes. Rotating two or three same-muscle movements every few weeks keeps progress moving without changing what the session trains — they all load the abs first.
