Does Bowling Help Lose Weight?

Does Bowling Help Lose Weight?

Yesterday, after work we were taken down to a bowling place at a mall. It was my first time in bowling. I started playing the game at a very positive note with a strike. However, it was downhill after that. I am not athletic but I still scored 56, in my first bowling game. I think it is a good sport. But the question that I have in my mind, since yesterday is, "Does bowling help lose weight"?

So, I did a quick research and the right question to ask, thanks to Google search suggestions is:"Does bowling help burn calories?".

So, I ended up with a calculator tool on this website: http://www.fitday.com/webfit/burned/calories_burned_Bowling.html. So the answer is yes, but how much is dependent on a few factors such as the height, weight, age and sex. The result was given as 146 pounds per hour. That's not too bad. But not worth it, considering the amount of money spent for a single hour of bowling. There was another website which calculated the same, depending upon the weight and time spent only: http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned.asp?exercise=6. I don't know how accurate they are, but I do know whatever the outcome maybe, but I really enjoyed playing the game. 

I wish I could do the toe thing the Fred Flinstone does when bowling. I miss that cartoon. I wish they would show more Hannah Barbara cartoons, as they used to show when we were kids.

I eat Chinese for dinner in the food court, by the way. See how my diet has gone crazier by the day.

Happiness,
