Christmas is a time for indulgence, but sometimes, it's easy to go oerboard and gorge on the endless supply of chocolate treats and festive nibbles.

With the average Brit piling on half a stone over the Christmas period and consuming nearly twice their salt RDA in one sitting, while we all want to eat, drink and be merry, it might be wise to keep check on the calorie counts.

But that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your favourite Christmas treats. Simply keep active and you can enjoy your cream covered mince pie or your chocolate feast from the Quality Street tin.

Find out how you can counteract the Christmas calories with fitness tips from York Fitness.
