FEELING stressed? Well, you are not alone.

More and more of us are under increasing pressure every day of our lives.

LA Fitness, based locally at Chapel Street in Bury, offers a new pro-active approach to helping out in this area with a well-being programme.

It comes in the shape of a CD and is aimed to combat the stresses of everyday life.

The disc uses visualisation techniques to relax, de-stress and revitalise the mind and body.

Research suggests that over 80 per cent of the population would like to adopt a healthier lifestyle -- but either do not have time to attend a gym on a regular basis or would feel intimidated by going into a fitness club.

Karen Smith, commercial marketing manager for LA Fitness PLC, said: "We've already received an unprecedented amount of interest in our products from a range of organisations.

"Our philosophy is that fitness should be fun, which is why we will continue to produce interesting health and fitness concepts which are easily digestible and accesible to the majority of people who aren't necessarily members of a gym."

The Relax CD is priced £9.99 plus postage and packing, and can be ordered by calling 0870 7373770 or visit www.lafitness.co.uk.
