Health Benefits

1. Improved fitness

Bowls is a fantastic sport to get active and to stay healthy via a gentle, low impact activity. The walking required in a game aids vascular health and the movement of muscles and tendons during the act of delivering a bowl can improve muscular health.

Exercise through lawn bowls can reduce your risk of diabetes and heart disease whilst helping to lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels. The more you play, the greater the benefits.
