Every sporting activity requires well trained and physically fit players, and bowling is not an exception. Some people will argue that since it is a precision game that demands more mental concentration than physical fitness, there is no need to exercise. However, this is rather false because you risk straining your arm or making worse throws if you are physically unfit. Explained below are some simple exercises that bowlers can carry out, not only to improve on their bowls but also for their fitness.
Stretching Exercises: This is the number one exercise that every bowler must undertake. The most important parts of the body that must be stretched are the arms and the legs. Just by simply sitting on the floor at home and stretching your leg muscles, you can equip yourself for the game. It is simple, extend your legs outward before you together then gradually try grabbing the legs with your hands, extending far down towards the ankles as much as possible. On feeling burning sensation in your leg's hamstring, stop but maintain the position for between 15 and 20 seconds, then release the legs and relax. Repeat the exercise with the feet far apart.
Leg Lunges: You can build strength in your thighs and firm your stomach muscles at the same time by doing forward leg lunges while holding a bowling ball against your stomach. The leg lunge motion should be alternated while extending the slide leg first till the bowling slide knee bends to a 90 degree angle with the lower leg. Maintain this position for about ten minutes then alternate the legs.
Military Presses: This is a simple exercise that involves holding the hands below the band handles or any other free weights. You should then slowly raise the hands to maximum extension over your head but straight above the shoulders, then resuming the shoulder level position. You can relax for a few seconds before getting back to the exercise again. This cycle should be repeated at least ten times. Please ensure that you carry manageable weights.
Bike Ridding: If you love riding bicycle, then this should be the easiest of the exercises. A bike ride is good for building resilience and cardiovascular vigor for bowling. You are better off cycling uphill where you engage most of the body muscles.
Jogging: You really don't have to be an athlete to jog. Jogging is encouraged as it keeps your heart stable and optimizes the potential of the lungs. You can even jog in the lawn before the game but this exercise is recommended for either early in the morning or late in the evening.
The five exercises explained above are highly recommended for bowlers as they help avert cases of injuries while playing. They also boost the level of an individual's game making their throws more accurate, of course with some serious concentration and steadiness.
