Time to Get Fit With Scary Spice
When I think of working out, I think of getting down with one of the Spice Girls to work off that horrible leftover chinese food that I had for lunch. Actually, I don’t really think about working out at all - you know, having to keep up the stereotype of being a gamer – but we did get word that Mel B, also known as “Scary Spice” is putting out a new workout game that is exclusive to the Playstation Move system.
The new title, “Get Fit with Mel B”, features over 200 different exercises crossing over into standard exercise movements, dance, aerobics and kickboxing. The game also says that she will be your teacher, mentor and inspiration.
Not sure if I am going to pick up Mel B, but I can say that it will probably hinge on how hard the Trophies are to get.

LARKSPUR, CA— September 9, 2010 – Deep Silver, the games label of Koch Media GmbH, today announced they will be publishing Get Fit with Mel B, an innovative fitness program which will exclusively utilize the groundbreaking PlayStation®Move platform for the PlayStation®3 (PS3™) system in North America.

“With her fantastic performance as a finalist in Dancing With the Stars, her role as the host of Oxygen’s Dance Your A** Off and her work for the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s “Pose for the Cure” breast cancer campaign, Mel B’s dedication to health and fitness makes her the perfect choice to inspire users of this program to improve their overall well being,” said Deep Silver Chief Operating Officer Geoff Mulligan. “This program, using brand new PlayStation Move technology, will allow participants to be inspired and motivated by Mel B as their personal trainer every day, all for much less than the price of a gym membership.”
