Top 5 Health Benefits of Bowling

You can come to JB’s on 41 for many reasons—the lights, the food, the arcade games—but did you know that bowling at JB’s improves your health?  Read on for the top 5 health benefits of bowling.

1.      Weight Loss—bowling helps to speed up your metabolism. Depending on your weight and effort, you can burn 170-300 calories per game!

2.      Muscle Toning and Strengthening—gripping the ball helps to strengthen your hands, and the repeated flexing, bending, and twisting that repeatedly occurs when you send the ball down the lane tones your shoulders, arms, chest, and leg muscles. 

3.      Reduced Risk of Disease—a sedentary lifestyle contributes to the risk for heart disease, and when you’re bowling at JB’s, you’re not sedentary!

4.      No Age Limit—when you’re in preschool, you can bowl.  When you’re in a retirement home, you can bowl.  There’s no bench in bowling, so you can always participate.

5.      The Company of Friends—bowling is a social event, and the more you socialize, making new friends and maintaining old, the less you’ll be lonely, thereby lowering the risk of depression and stress. 

Keep on bowling, friends! We’ll see you in the lanes.
