1. Weight Loss
We don’t have much control over the speed of our metabolism, but we can control how many calories we burn through our level of physical activity. The more active we are, the more calories we burn. Some people who are said to have a fast metabolism are probably just more active and that’s why Ten Pin Bowling can be healthy AND fun!
There are lots of exercise calorie calculators on the web and although I’d check them out more for fun and not facts ;-)
2. Strengthens and tones muscle
Whilst ten pin bowling, the flexing, bending, twisting and stretching that occurs probably won’t turn us into modelling material but it does tone our shoulders, arms, chest and leg muscles. Repeated bowling will also improve our strength, balance and flexibility. Are you ready to cancel that gym membership yet?!
3. Eliminates stress
Stress is a big problem. Research has shown that around 12 million adults in the UK see their GP with mental health problems each year. Most suffer from anxiety and depression and much of this is stress-related. Everyone knows that exercise is good for you and that it is one of the best stress combatants available; however many people us the excuse is that we are too busy and stress to fit it into their routines. During a game of Ten Pin Bowling you become completely absorbed in what you are doing, forget your day’s irritations and the exercise will give you higher energy levels and optimism that can help you feel clearer and calmer.
Are you stressed? I hope not but you can take a test here.
4. Reduces the risk of heart disease
Ten Pin Bowling can help reduce our risk of developing coronary heart disease. A healthy diet with regular exercise is the best way of maintaining a healthy weight, which in turn reduces our chances of developing high blood pressure.
Ten Pin Bowling will make our heart and blood circulatory system more efficient, lower our cholesterol level, and also keep your blood pressure at a healthy level. So you don’t have to get sweaty at the gym to stay healthy!
