Bowling is exercise
One day I was at my barber shop getting a haircut. We were talking about bowling.
You see every weekend me and the Mrs. go down to Dublin to bowl with our friends at the lanes of bowling legend Earl Anthony.
Anyway, I told him how the wife is always getting on my case about how I don’t get enough exercise.
He said, “What are you talking about? You tell her that bowling IS exercise!”
And he is right. I read it on the internet so it must be true.
You see, a 190 lb. person burns 116 calories in one hour of bowling. That is the same as a vigorous game of lawn darts, croquet, playing catch, and one of the greatest athletic challenges in the wide world of sports : fishing.
But in case you are still in doubt, check out this book:
See bowlers need to pop ‘roids and lift weights just like other professional athletes.
I mean just take a look at some of these fine athletes:
If you’re not convinced by now that bowling provides a good strenuous workout, here’s a picture of a sign posted on the wall at Earl Anthony’s.
See, I told you!

That is really funny. i am not sure if you are trying to be funny or not. but, it is funny. I believe bowling at a competitive level is exercise. But, I doubtr it is the same type your doc wants you to do for hyper tension. Anyway, bowling for the most part should be fun. Anyway, thanks for the laugh.
Just take a look at Earl Anthony. Just because he looks like that dude from Revenge of the Nerds doesn’t mean he ain’t twisted steel born to kill! Honestly, you HAVE to be a bad ass to dress like that.
On a separate note, Welcome Back Kotter was the great in the day….anyone else have the hots for his wife on the show?
I think that hand pratice is a sport and agree with peasor, in his quest for physical fitness via beating off.
A sport where smoking and drinking are permitted while you play? Bowling is the best sport EVER!
so is beating off.
Bowling is not, and never has been a sport.
the end.
Ya.
