We analyze the magnetic excitations of a spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model with alternating nearest neighbor interactions and uniform second neighbor interactions recently proposed to describe the spin-Peierls transition in CuGeO$_3$. We show that there is good agreement between the calculated excitation dispersion relation and the experimental one. We have also shown that this model reproduces satisfactorily the experimental results for the magnetization vs. magnetic field curve and its saturation value. The model proposed also reproduces qualitatively some features of the magnetic phase diagram of this compound and the overall behavior of the magnetic specific heat in the presence of applied magnetic fields.
