Q. What is the difference between regular strength-training exercises and BMXStrength or standard CrossFit and BMXCrossFit?
A. I created BMXStrength 17 years ago, with the sole intention to offer a set of techniques that understand the human body engineering, maintain flexibility and increase strength without causing injury. It’s based on my experiences and understanding of the human body. It’s designed to offer movement of muscles according to the body engineering (the movements which are friendly with the joints). BMXCrossFit is an adapted version of the CrossFit (a high intensity workout), but techniques have been modified to to work along the biomechanics of body. The difference lies in that with normal CrossFit, the risk of injury is 400-500 times higher as compared to BMXCrossFit. What’s good is that these exercises can be modified as per the strength level, age and physical condition of a person, and is also useful in rehabilitation from injuries.
