Welcome to Fresh Air Nordic Walking.
We run nordic walking courses and classes in and around the villages of North West Bedfordshire as well as Buckinghamshire and Northants borders.
Our instructors are qualified with, and very active within, British Nordic Walking, the official UK member organisation of INWA, the International Nordic Walking Federation.
What is Nordic Walking? Nordic walking started out as a summer training regime for cross-country skiers but over the past 15 years has developed into a fitness activity in its own right.
So, it's just walking with a walking stick, right? Wrong! Nordic Walking is a technique of walking with the aid of poles which uses your own body's upper strength to propel you forward as you are walking. It turns the act of everyday walking into a full body workout - even more so than swimming!
Why not just go for a walk? Any form of activity is a good thing and should deliver health benefits. However, because you are using your upper body as well, you are able to get a whole body workout.
So, what are the additional benefits? You should burn at least twenty per cent. more calories than walking without poles. So, it's great for weight loss as part of a calorie-controlled diet. However, a key benefit of nordic walking is that it will improve the conditioning of your upper body, improve your posture, release neck and shoulder tension and strengthen your 'core' (back and abdominal muscles).
Is it hard? It is similar to other forms of moderate aerobic activity. Ballroom dancing, pushing a lawnmower, riding your bike around town and water aerobics are generally considered other forms of moderate activity. At a basic level, the object is to raise your heart rate but without you losing the ability to have a conversation at the same time!
Of course, before you engage in any new physical activity you should check with your medical practitioner that they don't see any issues, but otherwise it is an inclusive fitness activity and is perfect for those who may be carrying excess weight or have joint conditions, as it is no harder on the body than walking.
Intrigued to try? You will not regret it. And, if you'd like to learn more, please do check out the International Nordic Walking Association website here: http://www.inwa-nordicwalking.com/about-us/what-is-nordic-walking/
Please check out our calendar for regular weekly sessions and special events. Regular group sessions currently take place on Wednesday and Friday mornings at 9.30 as well as a 'sunrise' walk on Monday mornings at 6.30 great for blowing the cobwebs away! Private lessons and Learn 2 Nordic Walk workshops are available by separate appointment.

Nordic Fit Wednesday
4 to 5km walk, centred around local Bedfordshire countryside paths. Each week is a different venue, keeping the variety up.
Suitable for all level of fitness.
To guarantee a place walkers should be sure to book in at least one week ahead.
Participants are expected to have their own NW poles, but by prior arrangement (and subject to COVID guidelines) I can lend poles as necessary for the session at a £1 charge per session (payable on the day).
All walks are risk-assessed in advance and delivered by an INWA accredited, insured nordic walking instructor
Joining instructions with venue details will be messaged in advance and are subject to change, depending on conditions.
All bookings are subject to our Booking Terms and Conditions.
Please note our fair cancellation policy. Bookings may be cancelled up to 24 hours before the start time of a session. Any cancellation on less than 24 hours notice will not be refunded. Bookings are no longer transferable to other times. Significant effort goes into planning sessions and it can be very disruptive to receive late notice cancellations.
We reserve the right to cancel a group where less than three walkers are booked in. For this reason we ask that bookings are made at least 24 hours ahead of the scheduled start time so that we have sufficient time to notify those that have already booked in that the session is being cancelled due to insufficient numbers.
Rain, ice, snow or sun, we will be out there!
So, please be sure to wear suitable clothing for the forecasted weather. Footwear should be waterproof. Soggy feet is not good! Conditions are often slippy underfoot due to soft, wet, muddy or icy ground. Please do not turn up in open-toed shoes, slippers, flip-flops, your everyday shoes or anything with a heel! For your own safety, you will not be able to join the session if you do.
As per our Terms and Conditions, it is your responsibility to check before you attend each Session that you are in sufficiently good health and free of injury to participate in physical exercise. If you have any health issue which may be affected by exercise you must seek approval of your medical practitioner before you attend one of our sessions.
