If you head down to ICC Belfast on Tuesday, September 26, you'll find a tent where you can have your blood pressure checked, find information on healthy eating, exercise, lifestyle, emotional well-being and resilience, get help to quit smoking, and even take part in a session of armchair aerobics - proof that no matter what your level of ability, you can incorporate some form of exercise to your day-to-day life.
