Keeping you healthy

Bowls gives your muscles and joints good exercise and keeps the tendons and ligaments you use limber.

Due to the extensive muscles you use during the approach, bowls is a good full-body motion and the social side boosts psychological and emotional health.

Bowls is primarily anaerobic because you aren’t giving your cardiovascular system a workout. Bowls stretches the muscles you use and conditions others.

The sport of bowls also exercises your mind as you try to outwit your opponent.

All of this means during an average game, you will:
bend 42 times.
walk approximately 1,260 metres.
swing your arm more than 40 times to deliver a bowl weighing more than 3 pounds.
