Bowling

Last night I went bowling for the first time in quite a while. It was a lot of fun! Just a group of ladies from my church and I.

Now, i'm not claiming to be a good bowler, but I won all two games that we played. With a score of 106 and 114. (See, told you i'm not good) I'm usually lucky if I break 100.

Bowling is a sport in which you roll a bowling ball along a slippery and flat surface into pins for points. There are a few forms of bowling and the most recent one is ten-pin bowling. The earliest form of bowling is dated back to ancient Egypt. Other places that bowling was first seen in were ancient Finland and Yemen and Germany in 300 A.D. The first set of standardized rules were established in New York City on September 9th, 1895. Today, over 95 million people in the world enjoy bowling in more than ninety countries world wide!

Bowling is a very fun activity, and after doing some research on bowling, I was quite surprised at how good it is for you.

Bowling is an anaerobic type of exercise. It is similar to walking with free weights. It helps you to burn calories and works muscle groups in your body that are usually not exercised. All of the stretching and flexing in bowling helps to work your tendons, ,joints, ligaments and muscles in the arms and promotes weight loss. Besides the physical benefits it also has psycho-social benefits such as strengthening friendships or creating new ones. :)

See, who wouldn't want to go bowling after reading all of that?
