Getting older? Is it time to switch to bowls?..........Absolutely No!

When the world thinks your too old! Should we listen to society which tells us were too old for this and too old for that. Many people will often suggest toning down your exercise intensity to protect your joints, hips and back. Our bodies are naturally slowing us down by eroding our lovely muscle mass and depleting our "fast twitch" muscle fibres. It is these fibres that get us up the stairs and out of our chairs, and all the things that our grannies struggle to do. We can't stop the aging process BUT we can maintain and improve what we've got. So we MUST do resistance training i.e lift weights, run up hills and stairs. Don't be afraid of exercise feeling hard, it's meant to: enjoy it, relish in the fact that your hard efforts will and are being rewarded.
