    Your upper body is still prone to fatigue, even with the mild amount of work a bowling swing exerts on your arm it's still repetitive motion. Do some arm circles for 5 minutes. Your shoulders will be on fire. That's what your arm is doing during a long bowling session just extended out over a couple hours....it's still smart to condition and strengthen your arms, back and chest. And, there's a whole ancillary benefit to being in total shape, which is everything else you do in life will benefit from top to bottom fitness - including lifting the roller out of the trunk!

    A good core exercise is to do bridges. To do that you get on your elbows and clasp your hands together and get on your toes and make your body like a bridge. Try to hold that pose for 30 seconds. Maybe you are stronger and can hold it longer. Go as long as you can until you start to struggle. Then rest for a minute and do it for the same amount of time again. Do it three to five times. This exercise is good for the core and will activate other muscles in your shoulders, arms and legs. It will hit the glutes also. Do some squats every other day also. If you want to hit the glutes and legs another way do step ups. You can use a step in your house or anything that is six to eight inches off the ground. Stand sideways to a step and step up with the foot next to the stair and lift your body up with that one leg then step back down . Then you do as many as you can with one leg and then the same number with the other leg. This will strenghten your sliding leg which will give you better balance sliding to the foul line. You have to do both legs because you don't want to be unbalanced
    where one leg it stronger then the other. If there is two things on your body like your arms for instance you don't just exercise one arm.
    You do both to be in balance.
