IMPROVED FITNESS AND COORDINATION
As a low-impact and therapeutic form of exercise, bowls offers a gentle way to keep active. There’s a surprising amount of walking involved in bowls (it’s estimated that you can end up walking up to three miles while you play), and lunging into your throws can help to develop your leg muscles. It’s a great workout for your arms too!
Bowls is also good for developing improved coordination, given the aim of the game and the skills required to be good at it.
