Bowling Exercises For Fitness On and Off the Lanes

Bowling is a great form of exercise, and one of the most participated in recreational sports for all ages. Many people bowl 2 – 3 leagues per week, and add a practice session or tournament on the weekend. Bowling at these levels requires a certain level of fitness to your best form at the line.

Fit Bowler is your online fitness center that offers bowling-specific exercises that need no special equipment you can do at home or at the lanes that will help you:

  • Keep your balance better at the foul line
  • Reduce knee, hip, shoulder or low back pain
  • Increase ball speed
  • Build core strength to protect your back & shoulders
  • Improve your mental focus
  • Maintain joint strength & flexibility

Balance For The Bowler’s Body

The game of bowling requires hurling a 14 -16 pound bowling ball repeatedly at speeds that can reach 15 – 20 miles per hour. If you have been bowling for a few years you may have already felt the toll it can take on the bowler’s body! Bowling builds a natural imbalance in muscles from left to right. Introducing some exercises into your off-lane time or warm up will help to keep your muscles in balance. These exercises can also prevent injury from overuse or imbalance.

A Variety For Everyone!

Fit Bowler exercises are meant for everyone – beginners to league & competitive bowlers, youth and high school bowlers to senior bowlers. Most exercises don’t need equipment, wardrobe, or a lot of space. You can do them at home or as a warm up before bowling.  Our bowling specific exercise categories include:

  • Yoga
  • Functional Training
  • Mental Focus
  • Senior Fitness/ Chair Exercises
