I should have posted this 2 weeks ago! Been too busy on the road! Great feeling to have passed my driving test 1st attempt, only 4 minors. Thanks to Nick! I took a lot of time away from driving lessons with work and family commitments, gave myself a short time to practice for my test, just wanted to get this done. Nick was great getting me test ready and keeping me reassured. Top man Nick. Driving has definitely improved the quality of my work/life. I have more energy for the family when I get home. Awesome! Anyone looking for a driving instructor contact Nick 07956221706. web: drivinglessonsdulwich.tel

Thanks for noticing the typo ???? lol. Gosh that would defo be an ultimate crisis.

If Monday's statistics are anything to go by- half the British population will be obese by 2050? Today the BBC said up to 2 million could benefit from Bariatric surgery. So with whom does the burden of responsibility lie with this ?crisis??

I was once called an idiot on twitter for my views on the Carl Froch & George Groves boxing match lol. On a serious note we are held accountable for the things we say, especially when our views have the capacity to create division and potentially create enmity between groups of people. I had no idea about this incident until now. Has there been any further development in this case? An explanation maybe?

Applespider the stats from the article are from a Home Office report published in 2012. Its an estimate figure, not quite sure on the population of their research though. I think information is quite limited regarding the number of people using performance and image enhancing drugs. The use of anabolic steroids is quite common. On this note I best stress that I don't use any substances lol. I wonder what effect removing all mirrors from the gym would have on the men I encounter at gyms? lol LadyDeliah I read the article you posted on Twitter 'Brainwashed by the Cult of the Super-rich' I tweeted it, brilliant! I see you're a fan of Max Keiser too. So many prefer to turn a blind eye. "There is a hole in man. Deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking. Until one day the world will say I am no more and I have nothing left to give"- Apocalypto Twitter: @AltesseFitFun

Which one thing will you change/do differently this coming year?

I read an interesting article recently on 'cosmetic exercise'. It's estimated that 70,000 of the 'general fitness' population aged 16-70 years used performance & image enhancing drugs in 2012; primarily anabolic steroids. The current hugely image-conscious nature of society has led to increased use and acceptance of drugs to improve how we look. Exercise is increasingly portrayed in popular media as being about the 'image'. Is exercise for 'health' purpose now old-fashioned? I'd be interested in hearing your views. Many thanks in advance. Seasons greetings to you all!

Jon head down to Dulwich Hamlet Football Club by East Dulwich station. Ask at the club. If you're in to football then the 5 aside league there will be a great place to start?

Nice one guys. Great start so far. Next home game I can make is Hornchurch on 31st due to work. Look forwards to it.

So gutted I couldn't make the first game of the season; who went? How was it? I heard we went down to 10 men, still won. Awesome!

Hey Balanceforlife, I'll keep you posted ;-). Defo give Nick a shout. Nice one

Thanks Cora. Have you done one yourself?

6 weeks ago I put a skills swap ad up to give a certified driving instructor the opportunity to exchange 10 driving lessons for 10 personal training sessions. I was glad that Nick from Nicholas Driving Academy took up the offer to exchange services. Nicholas Driving Academy has been based in East Dulwich since 1981, I was sure I would be in the right hands. Nick has a calm, laid back personality which has worked perfectly for me as I have not had lessons for almost 4 years. I have been growing in confidence as the lessons go by, with Nick pitching the sessions just right. He is a very knowledgeable and experienced instructor. Nick's personal training sessions with me have been going really well. Nick has a football background having played a good level 11 years ago. He plays badminton on the weekends. I have been working with Nick on acquiring the right nutrition to suit his work & lifestyle to enable him to attain his health & fitness goals. We have been working on Nick's cardiovascular fitness, his agility and flexibility in particular to enable him to compete effectively at badminton. Nick has had back problems and so we have looked at correcting postural issues that have been enhancing the problem. This experience has been a great learning point for me, having to almost begin driving from scratch, needing Nick to guide me step by step and exhibit the patience I need to excel. I am used to being on the other side having to exercise patience and care, especially for those having to make a complete lifestyle change from being inactive with poor nutrition, to being active and making the right nutritional choices. I would most definitely recommend Nick to anyone looking to start driving lessons or looking for an instructor for a friend/family member.

Great video, even greater celebrating with the players afterwards; good food, drinks and catching up with old friends.
