WARNING: PHOTOSENSITIVITY/EPILEPSY/SEIZURES

A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed

to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a television

screen or when playing video games may trigger epileptic seizures or blackouts in these individuals.

These conditions may trigger previously undetected epileptic symptoms or seizures in persons who

have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic

condition or has had seizures of any kind, consult your physician before playing. IMMEDIATELY

DISCONTINUE use and consult your physician before resuming gameplay if you or your child

experience any of the following health problems or symptoms:

• dizziness • eye or muscle twitches • disorientation • any involuntary movement

• altered vision • loss of awareness • seizures or convulsion.

RESUME GAMEPLAY ONLY ON APPROVAL OF YOUR PHYSICIAN.

______________________________________________________________________________

Use and handling of video games to reduce the likelihood of a seizure

• Use in a well-lit area and keep as far away as possible from the television screen.

• Avoid large screen televisions. Use the smallest television screen available.

• Avoid prolonged use of the PlayStation®3 system. Take a 15-minute break during each hour of play.

• Avoid playing when you are tired or need sleep.

______________________________________________________________________________

Stop using the system immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms: lightheadedness,

nausea, or a sensation similar to motion sickness; discomfort or pain in the eyes, ears, hands, arms,

or any other part of the body. If the condition persists, consult a doctor.

NOTICE:

Use caution when using the DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller and the PlayStation®Move motion controller

motion sensor function. When using the DUALSHOCK®3 wireless controller or the PlayStation®Move

motion controller motion sensor function, be cautious of the following points. If the controller hits a

person or object, this may cause accidental injury or damage. Before using, check that there is plenty

of space around you. When using the controller, grip it firmly to make sure it cannot slip out of your

hand. If using a controller that is connected to the PS3™ system with a USB cable, make sure there

is enough space for the cable so that the cable will not hit a person or object. Also, take care to avoid

pulling the cable out of the PS3™ system while using the controller.

WARNING TO OWNERS OF PROJECTION TELEVISIONS:

Do not connect your PS3™ system to a projection TV without first consulting the user manual for your

projection TV, unless it is of the LCD type. Otherwise, it may permanently damage your TV screen.

HANDLING YOUR PS3™ FORMAT DISC:

• Do not bend it, crush it or submerge it in liquids. • Do not leave it in direct sunlight or near a radiator

or other source of heat. • Be sure to take an occasional rest break during extended play. • Keep this

disc clean. Always hold the disc by the edges and keep it in its protective case when not in use. Clean

the disc with a lint-free, soft, dry cloth, wiping in straight lines from center to outer edge. Never use

solvents or abrasive cleaners.

HealTH and safeTy precauTions

All material and data contained in the game is solely indicative. The utmost care has

been taken to maintain accuracy and precision in content; however this should not be

considered the same as medical advice or information, or the same as a visit to your

doctor or nutritionist. Since the game has not covered all topics relating to health and

well-being, the information contained, although it may cover varied cases, may not be

applicable to specic individual cases. Therefore, actions should not be undertaken, or

avoided, solely on the basis of information contained in the game. Do not change your

diet based on the information given in the game, especially if you are under 16 years

old or have any kind of intolerance, food allergy or hypersensitivity. Instead, you should

always rely on the advice of expert medical staff and consult a doctor with any question

relating to health or well-being. Physical exercise can cause muscle pains or other

problems, so it is always advisable to start with warm-up exercises, and to take regular

breaks. Take care not to over-exert or strain your muscles after a period of inactivity.

The Get Fit With Mel B workouts include warm-ups and cool downs, which are good for

avoiding injuries and cramps, strengthening muscles and increasing exibility before

taking on a more challenging workout. As an initial feeling of discomfort is predicted,

a cautious approach is always advised. Start the initial phase of the workout slowly,

and when the pain or fatigue from a certain exercise becomes excessive, stop and re-

evaluate the workout. Consult your doctor if discomfort or pain persists for a long time

after exercising. In the Practice, Challenge and Custom Workout modes, warm ups and

cool downs are omitted or are optional since these modes are designed to be used as

part of a longer session. The game does not detect your physical condition during the

workout. Exercise which respects the limits of your body and the opinion (if appropriate)

of a doctor is entirely your responsibility. Inspect all accessories (such as the resistance

band) before use. If they are damaged, do not use them. Use by children requires the

supervision of an adult. It is your responsibility to warm up and cool down effectively.

IN THE CASE OF KNOWN PATHOLOGIES, CONSULT A DOCTOR BEFORE PLAYING

GET FIT WITH Mel B. THE USE OF GET FIT WITH Mel B IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGED FOR

PREGNANT WOMEN, THE ILL AND THE ELDERLY.

The player assumes full responsibility for the use of Get Fit With Mel B.

The producer, developer, editor, publisher and distributor decline any responsibility,

directly or indirectly, related to personal injuries, fatal injury, loss or damage of any kind,

including, but not limited to, direct, indirect, accidental, special damage to property, or

damage resulting from the improper use or abuse of the information contained in the

current software and/or use related to it.

inTroducTion: sTay in sHape WiTH mel b!

Welcome to Get Fit With Mel B! Thanks to Mel you can now get into shape easily in the

comfort of your own home.

No-one knows better than you what is good for your body, so Get Fit With Mel B lets you

choose from a wide range of goals, suitable for both men and women. Do you want to

get ready for the beach or have abs of steel for the summer? No problem. Do you want to

get in shape to play a round of golf, prepare for an active holiday, or simply detoxify your

body? Get Fit With Mel B can help you to achieve your goal: you can even combine two

goals together to get the perfect program for you.

And who better than Mel B to accompany you on this journey? With her energy and

enthusiasm, Mel will show you the perfect way to improve day after day, adapting the

workout to your performance.

Tutorials are available for every exercise, so don’t worry if you don’t know the

difference between a sit-up and push up at the start: it’s easy when you see a practical

demonstration. Get Fit With Mel B won’t tell you off if you don’t work out on the weekend

or if you miss a few days: we know you’ve got a social life! However, to obtain the best

results, try to work out regularly, around  ve times a week.

Your  rst workout will be of medium dif culty: afterwards, you’ll be able to tell Mel if it

was too hard, too easy or about right. Your workouts will then adjust to your  tness level,

and from then on they’ll subtly shape themselves to your abilities.

You will also have access to a nutritional plan that has been adapted to your goals,

 ltering out the foods that you don’t like and giving you instructions on how to prepare

every single recipe.

basics and menu navigaTion

• Go from one menu to another, by pointing at the various options with the

PlayStation®Move Motion controller and pushing the S Button or the Action Button .

• Return to the previous menu by pushing the A Button.

• When you input numerical data, such as your height, point at the up and down

arrows located above and below the numbers, and press the S Button or the Action

Button to change the data.

• Push the [ Button to pause or leave a workout session.

creaTe a profile

Get Fit With Mel B needs to get to know you a little in order to prepare a custom workout

program and a tailored diet for you. Start by typing your name, and answer the questions

by navigating with the arrows at the bottom of the screen: point towards the arrows

located in the bottom left and right of the screen and push the S Button or the Action

Button to go forward (right) and back (left), scrolling through the questions. Don’t worry,

there aren’t too many!

cHoose WorkouT locaTion

You can choose to do a workout in one of six locations. If you want to change location,

you just need to go to the Options menu and select Location.

cHoose your goals

When you have  nished creating your pro le, Get Fit With Mel B will ask you to choose

your goals. Think a little about what you hope to achieve and scroll through the various

categories to choose the goals that are most suited to you. You can set two goals and

decide how to balance them. If you prefer to focus your efforts on one goal, you don’t

have to choose a second.

If you change your mind, you can set new goals on the Workout Breakdown Screen (the

screen you see just before each workout that shows the exercises you’ll be doing) by

choosing ‘Change Goals’.

cHoose equipmenT

Get Fit With Mel B lets you exercise using gym equipment, a tball, an aerobic step, a

resistance band/tube or wrist/ankle weights (you will never need both wrist and ankle

weights at the same time, so if you have a set that ts both your wrists and your ankles,

that’s all you need).When you create your prole, you will be asked if you have these

accessories: select them to include them in your personalized workouts. If you buy new

equipment in the future, you can let Mel know that you now own it by choosing Options

and then Equipment.

WorkouT programs

Your personalized workout program will both schedule different types of workouts

(tness or any of six types of aerobics) and personalize these workouts to your goals and

your strengths and weaknesses. You can check your progress at any time, by choosing

Your Progress, and then Your Stats. Here you will see your current tness rating on each

type of workout, from 0 – 100.

Based on your performance, you can earn a bronze, silver or gold medal at the end

of each workout or challenge – you can see how many you’ve won by going to Your

Progress -> Your Medals. You will also earn stars as you exercise: the more you exercise

and the harder the exercise, the more stars you’re awarded. These are shown on the Your

Stats Screen. This screen also shows interesting statistics, such as the total calories

you’ve burned since you started working out with Mel in the form of food (e.g. three

pizzas).

Finally, there are a number of awards you can win for hitting specic targets. These will

pop up as you achieve them, and you can see which you’ve won by going to YourProgress

-> Your Awards.

WorkouT

To start your daily workout, choose Today’s Workout from the main screen.

WorkouT breakdoWn screen

Before starting, you can look at what you’ll be doing today. You can change the

length of the workout and even the goals themselves.

Every session starts with a warm-up and ends with some cool down phases.

You can see a tutorial at any time by pushing the F Button.

Try to imitate Mel B: don’t worry

about your right and left, move

as if you were in front of a mirror.

If you are using the

PlayStation®Move Motion

Controller, hold it in your right

hand.

Move to the rhythm with Mel B: use

the music and Mel’s instructions to

stay in time. The more you keep in

rhythm with Mel B, the better your

score will be. The clock shows how

much time is left until the end of

the workout.

The Reps Counter shows how many repetitions you have done.

There is also a repetition counter for Mel B which shows both how

many reps she’s done and how many both of you should

aim to do in total.

Finally, the Performance Bar shows you at-a-glance how you’re

doing in the current exercise: the higher the bar, the better your

performance. If the color is green, it means that you are doing

well. Orange indicates problems: in this case, listen to Mel’s

advice. Red means that you are out of rhythm with Mel, or that

you are using the wrong hand or foot. Remember to mirror what

Mel does: if she is using the leg on the right-hand side of your TV,

use your right leg.

cHoose WorkouT

As well as an everyday workout, Get

Fit With Mel B offers you various

other opportunities to exercise and

stay in shape. By choosing Choose

workout from the main screen,

several alternatives will be offered.

Note that Step Aerobics requires

an aerobics step and Pump n’ Tone

requires wrist and ankle weights. To

use Pump n’ Tone, make sure you

have selected both wrist and ankle

weights under Options -> Equipment.

Mel will use both wrist and ankle

weights, but we recommend you use one or the other depending on whether you

want to focus on your upper or lower body.

cusTom WorkouT

Custom Workout lets you combine the exercises of your choice (according to the

active goals). Choose them from the left-hand side of the screen and choose the

number of repetitions. You can also enable or disable the warm-up and cool down

phases.

Remember that if you disable them, it’s your responsibility to warm up and cool down

effectively. Custom Workout gives you complete freedom, including to create very

demanding workouts: don’t push yourself beyond your limits.

pracTice

If you want to perfect a specic exercise, you can perform that exercise only, using

the Practice option. On the left of the following screen, a list of exercises will be

shown to you which Mel B considers to be suitable for your preparation. To choose

an exercise you want to practice, select it, choose the number of repetitions and push

the Conrm Button.

cHallenges

If you want to see how  t you are,

take on one of Get Fit With Mel B’s

challenges: see if you have legs

of steel, do the challenging cardio

test or  nd out if you’re  ghting  t.

According to your performance, you

may be awarded a bronze, silver or

gold medal: you can see how many

and which medals have been given

to you in the Your progress screen.

These challenges are targets to aim

for, so don’t get down don’t feel

disheartened if you can’t overcome

them at the start!

nuTriTion

Get Fit With Mel B will create a

nutrition plan based on your goals,

pro le information and culinary

preferences. Choose Nutrition

to see the daily menu. Select the

picture of a recipe to see the full

list of ingredients and the step-by-

step instructions for its preparation.

You can also view all of each meal

type (e.g. all Breakfasts) that are

appropriate to your needs by clicking

one of the ‘Browse’ Buttons.

your progress

The Your Progress screen lets you check how you’re doing: your stats, medals and

awards are all recorded here. This section also lets you change your goals.

opTions

The Options menu lets you adjust

the volume of Mel’s voice, the

background music and the sound

effects. It also allows you to enable

or disable subtitles, change your

workout location and see the list of

credits.

In this menu, you can also manage

your exercise equipment: selecting

a piece of equipment here means it

will be automatically included in your

workouts from now on. You may also

update your weight here: this will

allow Mel to take any changes into

account when personalising your

workouts.
