Bowling Specific Exercises
This bowling strength training program strengthens the muscles you use in bowling with body weight exercises using similar movements to those in bowling. These exercises better help you adapt to situations on the lanes by making the muscles work together. This type of functional training works the muscles through a full range of motion and trains the body to stay under control and consistent – all key ingredients for better shot making and higher scores.
Bowling is meant to be a life-long sport. Don’t let injury or overuse knock you off your game!
One Legged Floor Touches
This awesome exercise gives you a bang for your buck! Strengthen the muscles in your thighs while you improve your balance and focus. Start easy by putting your foot down after each set, or make it harder by adding a dumbell.
Chair Lunges
This great sport-specific exercise imitates your slide or final step of your approach. Lunges strengthen the large muscles of the thighs – the quadriceps, the hamstrings and the glutes. Try them before you bowl for a blood-pumping warm-up, too!
