Exercise does not need to be limited to just a gym. There are a number of different sports out there that you can try. If sweating is not your style, there are a number of other sports out there. Bowling is one of the more debatable ones.
Bowling is a great sport for raising your heart rate. It's actually good for those looking for something that increase their heart rates but with little danger of crossing a threshold.
The key to bowling's potential as an exercise is tied to weight of the bowling ball: The heavier the ball, the more exercise you get. However, don't feel that you need to increase the size of the ball; even assuming you make all strikes on three sets, you are still going to lift and toss a ball at least 36 times, with a maximum of 66 times (the worse a bowler you are, the more exercise you get).
When you are looking for a ball size, look for one that feels comfortable, and requires a little struggle to lift. A ball that is too heavy will cause sprains and is uncontrollable, while a ball that is too light will likely be uncontrollable.
Keep in mind that you do not want to undo the benefits of exercise. Read: Try to avoid the usual bowling alley food, before, during and after the game, and try to restrict your soda and beer intake. Your conscience will be your guide, and it had better be a jerk.
