Sorry, all you links lovers, golf is only considered to have some benefit if you don't use a cart. For all you bowlers unfortunately there are very limited physical benefits too. A good way to make things more interesting is to get your friends involved, and for those of you who love competition make a game out of it. See who can do the best in whatever you choose. Just make sure all of you exercise safely and in the purpose of improving and lengthening your life.
Competition can be fun, but it can also get out of hand.
Know the warning signs of a stroke and a heart attack. The warning signs of a heart attack are an uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing, or pain in the center of the chest that lasts for more than a few minutes, or goes away and then returns, pain that spreads to the shoulders, neck, or arms, and chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea, or shortness of breath. If at any point during exercise or in your everyday life you should experience these symptoms seek help immediately, and don't push yourself on thinking it will go away. This information could save you or your friend's life some day. Geoffrey Dover B.Sc.
