Hollywood model and entrepreneur Miranda Kerr has revealed her enjoyment of bowling.
Recently, Miranda Kerr posted a photo on her social media of herself raising her arms and cheering at the bowling alley.
Born in 1983, Miranda Kerr is 43 years old by Korean age, but she appears much younger than her age with no excess fat and clear skin. Let's take a look at the benefits of bowling, the exercise chosen by Miranda Kerr, who is considered one of Hollywood's representative youthful stars.
Full Body Workout Using All Muscles… Suppresses Body Fat Increase
Bowling is not a high-intensity exercise, but it is a full-body workout that uses the arms, lower body, abdominal, and back muscles. Lifting the bowling ball and running to hit the bowling pins increases muscular endurance as you need to throw the ball steadily. This requires maintaining stability in the lower body and core muscles.
Repeating this process raises the heart rate, providing moderate aerobic exercise benefits. When muscle workouts and aerobic exercises are combined, it can suppress body fat increase. It also helps improve blood circulation and maintain vascular elasticity.
Moderate Exercise Relieves Stress… Reducing Cortisol Helps Maintain Youthfulness
To maintain youthfulness, 'hormone management' is important. High stress levels lead to increased cortisol secretion, which promotes the breakdown of collagen that maintains skin elasticity and increases abdominal fat. Conversely, relieving stress through bowling, which incorporates game elements, can reduce the secretion of the stress hormone cortisol, potentially slowing down aging.
It also helps with balance, slowing down physical aging. The process of walking with the ball and throwing it engages both the brain and muscles. As we age, our sense of balance declines, but exercises like bowling can help maintain balance, slowing down physical aging.
Unlike running or jumping, bowling exerts less impact on the knees and ankles. This means a lower risk of joint injury. However, it is important to stretch the shoulders and back sufficiently before bowling to prevent injuries.
