Subject: RE: It's a real sport...but Is Curling good Exercise?I curled for a season and it is just so much fun. I wish there was a club near where I lived now. The rocks weigh 19kg (over 40lbs ). The sweeping is an ok workout, but it isn't about the strength as much as the smarts and skills. The best unwritten rule in curling happens after the game is over. The winner has to buy the loser a bier. If you win you get to say I won, but if you lose you get a free bier out of it. It was my first season, and I was on a team of beginners. I got a lot of free bier that year. If you ever get a chance, give it a try.
