Are you the owner of Fresh Air Nordic Walking?
Long and I found them quite boring. But then I discovered Nordic Walking, and it completely changed my perspective on fitness.
Welcome to Fresh Air Nordic Walking, a physical fitness programme and wellness centre located in Bedford. We specialise in Nordic Walking courses and classes in and around the villages of North West Bedfordshire, as well as Buckinghamshire and Northants borders. Our team of instructors are fully qualified with, and actively involved in, British Nordic Walking, the official UK member organisation of INWA, the International Nordic Walking Federation.
Nordic Walking is not just walking with a walking stick. It is a technique of walking with the aid of poles that utilises your upper body strength to propel you forward as you walk. It turns a simple walk into a full-body workout, surpassing even swimming in terms of its effectiveness. While any form of physical activity is beneficial, Nordic Walking offers additional advantages due to the involvement of the upper body.
Not only will you burn at least twenty percent more calories than traditional walking, but this activity also improves upper body conditioning, posture, releases neck and shoulder tension, and strengthens core muscles.
Contrary to popular belief, Nordic Walking is not a difficult activity. It falls under the category of moderate aerobic exercise, similar to ballroom dancing, riding a bike, or water aerobics. The goal is to elevate your heart rate while still being able to maintain a conversation. It is a widely inclusive activity suitable for individuals carrying excess weight or with joint conditions, as it is no more strenuous than walking.
However, it is always recommended to consult with a medical practitioner before starting any new physical activity.
If you're intrigued to try Nordic Walking, Fresh Air Nordic Walking is the perfect place to start. You won't regret it. For further information, visit the International Nordic Walking Association website for a comprehensive overview of the activity. Additionally, please feel free to contact our team at michelle@freshairnordicwalking.

We offer regular group sessions every Wednesday and Friday mornings at 9:30. If these times don't suit you, we also provide private individual and 'pairs' lessons, as well as introductory Learn 2 Nordic Walk workshops, which can be scheduled separately.

It's about being a little better than I was before. ” Michelle's personal journey into fitness and her passion for Nordic Walking have inspired her to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for individuals of all fitness levels.
Join us at Fresh Air Nordic Walking and embark on a fitness journey that will not only improve your physical well-being but also provide a supportive community to help you achieve your goals. We look forward to walking alongside you on this incredible adventure.
