Bowling is a low-impact recreational sport that involves rolling a heavy ball down a lane to knock over pins. While it may seem leisurely, bowling engages your arms, shoulders, and legs with each throw, and a typical game involves walking back and forth repeatedly. Competitive bowlers may play multiple games per session, accumulating a meaningful calorie burn over time. It also improves hand-eye coordination and can be a great social activity.
