Yes ICEMAN works all,,, parts of the body at the YMCA! I do waist up 1 day, then next day lower half, and do cardio getting the heart rate up every other work out! I am lucky I am retired, and have the time to do a good workout! I do NOW FOCUS on Wrist, Arm, and shoulder exercising, to enhance my bowling skills. Also squeeze basketballs to build my grip up! Stretching routine, also very important!!
Don't walk on Thin Ice!
I don't do any exercises just for bowling. I try to do some Yoga stretches at least every other day. I also try to take 20 to 30 minute walks with my wife. Haven't been doing to much of that since she's been having foot problems most of this year. As a carpenter I still get a fair amount of exercise, both physical and mental, just from working.

I don't do any specific exercising for bowling but I do cycle a lot which strengthens my legs. That in turn helps out my bowling.
I am sure cycling, builds up your wrist, shoulders, quads, calf's, ect ect!! Great exercise for many body parts..

The best exercise for bowling is bowling!
I agree!

I don't work out for bowling, per se, I try to stay in good shape for a thousand other more valuable reasons....but it most certainly helps with bowling.
I do P90X and its variants, ride mountain bike, do HIIT and Tabata workouts. They all just contribute to better physical conditioning. It helps greatly with long bowling sessions and tournaments, where I used to have pulls or get tired or sore. Now it doesn't bother me at all and I can bowl all day.
I also make sure to do some good stretches before any bowling. As I age, this is paramount for avoiding injury and it also helps to speed up warming the muscles and that's a quicker way to get in the groove.
