How bowling can help keep you
healthy this year.
Looking for a way to work off a few of those extra calories from
Christmas? For some people
exercise can be a bit of chore. If you want something more fun and
uplifting this New Year,
why not try bowling? Here are four top reasons to start bowling
now for a healthier lifestyle.
Burn off Those Pesky Calories
It might not seem like you're doing much but for every game of
bowling you can burn
between 160 and 300 calories. Not to mention that it's keeping you
active and moving,
bringing us nicely onto the next point.
Give Your Muscles a Workout
You use your whole body when you bowl. Your legs, arms and back
all get a great weightbased
workout and help keep you balanced as you walk and swing the ball.
Not only are you
stretching and strengthening your muscles but you're improving
your flexibility too. Just
make sure you stretch before you bowl, especially if you're a
beginner, so that you don't pull
a muscle trying to get that oh-so-elusive strike.
Put a Spring in Your Step
Like any form of exercise, bowling can help keep your heart
healthy. In fact just by keeping
active you lower your risk of heart disease, strokes and diabetes.
Plus, it can improve your
circulation and help lower your cholesterol levels and blood
pressure.
Shake off The January Blues
Bowling is a great form of stress relief: from the satisfaction
of getting a strike or two, to
having a good old giggle with your family and friends. You can
meet new people as well as
gather together those you're closest to.
No matter what you're aiming for in 2014, bowling can help you
tostay happy, active and
healthy. Get down to your local TenPin now and give it a go!
