A BIT of advice or a push in the right direction – that’s what is on offer at a healthy living exhibtion next month.

Live Life proved such a big hit with visitors last year that it is back for 2009. It will be staged at the new Middleton Arena on Monday 2 March with a host of great ideas to help youngsters lead a healthier lifestyle and have fun while they’re at it.

Once again Rochdale Council has teamed up with NHS Heywood, Middleton and Rochdale for the day, to offer a huge range of free interactive demonstrations, giveways, activities and talks.

Getting fit and healthy has never been so much fun – whatever your age – and organisers promise something for everyone.

A wide range of demonstrations will be on show covering all aspects of healthy living, including physical activity, diabetes, sexual health, healthy eating, nutrition and home safety. There will be taster sessions in stretch and tone and tai chi.

During the evening professional football coaches from the Manchester United Foundation will also be appearing.

Special celebrity guests will be popping in throughout the day to chat to visitors and pick up some tips for leading a healthier life themselves.

Visitors will be able to take part in a laughter workshop, a poetry workshop and see a bicycle that makes smoothies! For children there will be face painting, balloon artists, circus skills, story time and a teddy bears’ picnic.

Live Life opens at 11am and runs until 8pm in the evening.

Complementary fruit and refreshments will be available all day.
