I used to say to myself, I need to do 8,000 steps or 10,000 steps today and I\u2019d try to but it takes ages! <\/p>\n<p>\u2018What I do now is a 15-minute walk in the morning, another 15-minute walk at lunchtime and then I\u2019ll do half an hour in the evening. Then it\u2019s done, it doesn\u2019t take anything out of me and it\u2019s made a massive difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ve lost nearly seven kilos in weight and I\u2019m fitter and healthier. It was all through tiny things, no big diets. It was just 8 to 10k steps a day and I go to the gym two nights of the week to a class. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Dermot-Bannon-1.jpg\" alt=\"Dermot Bannon\" class=\"wp-image-1620944\"  \/>Dermot has lost around seven kilograms in weight. Pic: Fran Veale<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I go to the class because it\u2019s good craic and we have a bit of banter. Lads Lifting it\u2019s called, at the Edge in Clontarf.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>One of the key differences in his recent fitness revolution has been to make his journey a social one.<\/p>\n<p>After viewing his goals as something to take pleasure in, he started using them as a pastime.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Dermot-Bannon-2.jpg\" alt=\"Dermot Bannon\" class=\"wp-image-1620945\"  \/>Dermot has made his journey a social one. Pic: Fran Veale<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/evoke.ie\/2026\/01\/29\/life-style\/dermot-bannon-living-rooms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Dermot<\/a> continued: \u2018It has changed my life, because I now go to the gym to meet up with people and do something social and we have a bit of craic.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s just consistency. That\u2019s the one thing I\u2019ve learned in the last year; if you put in the tiniest little bit of effort and just do it, get up off your backside and do 10 minutes of it, it\u2019s far better off than thinking about all the big walks you need to go on tomorrow, that you won\u2019t do.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Do something right now, no matter how tiny. If you can keep doing that and do something consistently, things do change. There\u2019s nothing like the feeling of being down a new belt notch, or the clothes that I bought five years ago fit me again. It might take a couple of months, but it will happen.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dermot Bannon has recently shared details of his \u2018life-changing\u2019 fitness regime that has helped him get into shape.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":478240,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[49,48,407,84],"class_list":["post-478239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fitness","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fitness","tag-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=478239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478239\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/478240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=478239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=478239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=478239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
