That's the way we roll - after Thanksgiving dinner we go bowling!
South Eastern Michigan Bowling Centers Association Encourages Families to Enjoy Bowling Together on Thanksgiving Weekend
- Bowling is good exercise as more than 130 different muscles are used.
- Bowling builds muscles and strong bones, and helps sustain hand-eye coordination.
- Playing 3 games of bowling is equivalent to walking 1 mile and can burn nearly 200 calories.
TROY, Mich., Nov. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- What better way to work off that notorious turkey dinner overload than to roll a couple of bowling games – and make it a family affair? Bowling burns calories, gets the heart pumping and adrenalin flowing and (usually) won't result in another argument with that know-it-all Uncle.
The more than 35 members of the South Eastern Michigan Bowling Centers Association (SEMBCA) point out that they have open bowling Thanksgiving weekend so it's easy to drop in, get your shoes and balls and head for the lanes. Even if someone has never bowled a frame in their life, SEMBCA member centers have patient coaches who can teach everyone, from little kids to grandma, how to have fun with 10 pins.
Even with the big Thanksgiving parade, early Black Friday sales and all that football, bowling is still an excellent way to get the whole family involved in a sport that can be played for life.
SEMBCA members can be found on their website, www.sembca.com and on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/South-Eastern-Michigan-Bowling-Centers-Association/1400514853556202.
