EDISON, N.J., Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Fitness and nutrition specialist, best-selling author and acclaimed celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak, and Majesco Entertainment Company (Nasdaq: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced a strategic partnership to develop and produce interactive electronic games based on Pasternak's 5-Factor Fitness program. Designed to generate results in just five weeks, the successful 5-Factor Fitness program is based on five-ingredient meals, five times a day, coupled with Harley's signature fitness program of five-minute sets.  Under the terms of the partnership, Majesco receives the exclusive worldwide rights to publish games based on Harley's program.
