Christmas dinner can be a calorific affair and whether it's the chocolates or the cheeseboard, it's easy to pack on a few extra pounds over the holidays.

But don't panic because with a little hard work and perseverance you can easily shed that weight in no time.

Things can get a bit tricky with the pandemic and if you don't feel comfortable enough going to the gym this Dublin fitness trainer has some fantastic tips to keep you looking fabulous and feeling healthier in the New Year without having to step outside your home or garden.

Dun Laoghaire man, Ben Walker, opened Anywhere Fitness right before the pandemic hit.

The fitness service offers personal training at home, online, or local gym for Dubliners.

He told Dublin Live: "Its really catering to anybody. They can come to Anywhere Fitness with their situation could say, Could you train me in the office or outside the back garden?

"If were not in level four or five, Could you train me in my living room? Im too scared to train altogether. Can you train me online?'

"Thats the basis of it now in Ireland."

The 34-year-old, who moved back from Toronto after 10 years, said his aim is to "make fitness more accessible".

Here are some of his top tips to shed that post-holiday weight:

"There would be a lot of people doing Zoom right now because there will be some family members getting together for Christmas, but a lot of people will be doing Zoom social groups for maybe a few drinks and this and that.

"Those same groups who are already getting together for social events should organise fitness classes together. Theyve kind of assembled the same ten or fifteen people together on a Zoom for eating or drinking together.

"Going into the New Year they should try and make that their fitness session.

"Each week, someone could play the role of instructor each week, one person the instructor and the next week someone else the instructor. That way they wont bail on each other."

Ben added: "If thats all a bit complicated then what you can do is assemble that class, then hire an instructor or personal trainer from us and if they want to get ten or fifteen people involved then well make an arrangement with them.

"Its very cost-effective if everyone pitches in. It keeps everybody social, doing the right thing, keeping healthy without going off the rails staying at home."

"I notice as a trainer that lots of people are starting to cancel on me now. They say theyre sick but I know the story the parties are out, the work parties are out.

"I think the way to avoid it is to try to tell people to get up 45 minutes earlier at the moment in the morning because social events are going to come up even if theyre not pencilled in because it can be very spontaneous.

"Tell people to assume they wont be able to do it in the evening so get up 45 minutes earlier and invest in light equipment like mats and fitness bands things you can do a full-body workout with.

"Theyre easy to do and dont cost much since theyre in demand right now. Getting up in the morning at say 6 am or 7 am assuming they wont be able to do it later."

"Another great tip is low-calorie drinks and low-calorie beer. Try to drink one small glass of water between drinks what that does is it helps you to stay sober and wake up on time so you can still do that workout.

"That helps you not to go off the rails, skipping workouts in the morning and having loads of calories in the evening."

"Increase the number of steps you take before the end of the year. Download an app that records how many steps you take on a daily basis. Increase your cardiovascular activity by walking instead of driving and taking public transport.

"This helps to boost your metabolism, burn more calories, and reduces the time getting stuck in the Christmas traffic.

"This can help keep the weight off and save some extra funds before the new year.

"Find different ways to increase your aerobic activity while on the move. Take the stairs instead of the escalator/elevator. If not stuck for time, walk home if doing Christmas shopping."

"End of the year is a better time than any to get physical chores done around the house. Being at home doesn't mean you have to be completely sedentary.

"Try to put 30-45 minutes aside daily to lift clutter that needs to be removed, shovel the garden, rake the leaves, or take part in home renovations.

"This activity is a great form of exercise and helps burn those extra calories we consume daily at the end of the year. It's also a less stressful time to get a lot of these things done before the new year starts again."
