Gyms always offers exercise routines for a specific target demographic. Moms and health buffs are the majority, and athletes with serious sports aspirations are another. Not all regimens are tailored for a specific sport so thinking of a regimen that you can do for Motocross is not something that most Gyms can think of, but a rider alone can do this at the comfort of their own home without the hassle of going somewhere else. What a rider can do is to design their own Functional Motocross Fitness routine.
Functional Motocross Fitness is simply the exercise routines that you can do as it relates to your bike riding. It is not some high-falutin special training that a rider has to perform and grind a chunk of hours in. It is simply a series of physical routines that a rider can perform that will improve their fitness level as a rider or racer.
Now, before you think that simply sitting on a bike and balancing yourself is all there is to Motocross Racing, think again. A lot of sports always uses strength and endurance that a person can exert and riding a motorbike is no different from any other sport. The physical exertions in MX riding is just as difficult as any other sport that anyone can compare it to.
Body exercises are the most simple and most effective routines that you can do for your training regime. You don't have to rely on external equipment or complicated concepts to get in shape, simply applying your own body on any handy flat surface, hand holds and elevated areas and using your own body weight will get you fit in half the time.
If you take a look on your riding form, you'll note that a strong core, back, shoulders and legs are the most utilized muscles therefore the most important to be developed when exercising. To get a high level of fitness, here are three exercises that you can do with time to spare:
- Burpees = repeat 20 Burpees for 5 times.
- Bridging = Lift your back and buttocks from the floor with your head (or shoulders for beginners) and feet the only ones having contact with the floor. Do this for 30 seconds up to a minute for five times. Repeat this for 5 times.
- Squats = Five 10 repetitions.
Do this three times a week and your not only going to feel great, you'll have a functional form for your next ride.
