What exercises do you do for BMX?
Riding BMX can be so casual that it can be easy to forget that when you are racing competitively that you are also an athlete.
It’s ok if you don’t exercise outside of riding. Sometimes that is the exercise. Also, if you are just here for the community then fist bumps and high fives is where it’s at.
However, if you want to improve standings, learn new skills, be faster on the track or just be more physically fit exercise will get you there faster.
Because BMX isn’t as formal about practice as other sports this will require you to do the work on your own. So what exercises do you do? What should you do? And why are you doing it?
Here are five exercises that can be done anywhere to get started:
- Push ups - to help with bike control and pumping
- Squats - leg mobility and power for pumping and starts
- Walking Lunges - more power on starts, pedaling out corners and obstacles
- Jumping jacks - for pedaling, jumping and pumping
- Bicycles - building core strength for pedaling and general bike control
If you do 5-10 repetitions of each exercise 3 times in a row at least twice a week or more you will not only improve your fitness, but will see improvements on the track.
