Winter sunrises hit different. Pun intended🥊

🏆 AbleFit Plank Challenge 2026 🏆

A massive well done to everyone who took part over the last 6 weeks! It’s been awesome watching the consistency, determination, and grit on display each week...even when motivation levels were low. 💪

This wasn’t just about seeing who could hold a plank the longest. It was about turning up, testing yourself, building core strength, improving posture and stability, and proving that progress comes from small, consistent efforts over time.

Over the challenge, we’ve tackled almost every plank variation front planks, side planks, moving planks, shoulder taps, mountain climbers etc. Safe to say we’ve spent a fair amount of time staring at the floor over the last 6 weeks! 😅

To make things even spicier, many participants chose to complete their test planks with 2kg, 5kg, and even 10kg plates loaded on their backs. Not exactly a casual core workout. 🔥

Most Improved Plankers
🥇 Steve Covacich (+3:57)
🥇 Debbie Stephens (+3:57)

An incredible effort from both, adding 3 minutes and 57 seconds to their Week 1 times and sharing the top spot! 🙌

🥉 Honourable Mention: Diane Fedorov (+2:35)
A huge leap from 1:34 to 4:09 over the challenge. Outstanding mahi!!

A special shout-out also to everyone who chipped away at their PBs each week. Whether your improvement was 10 seconds or nearly 4 minutes, progress is progress. And that's what this thang is all about 💪

Ka rawe for embracing the challenge, supporting each other, and showing that consistency beats motivation more often than not. The real prize is stronger bodies, stronger minds, and knowing you’re capable of more than you think!

Happy Mother’s Day to ALL the mums! The bonus mums, mother figures, caregivers, grandmas, aunties and wāhine holding it down behind the scenes 🤍

This 'job' isn't linear. Some days feel beautifully chaotic, some driven by cold coffees, and “MUM, MAMA, MAMAAA” on repeat 😅 But aroha always outweighs the madness.

A little extra love to my own mum and 'babies' for making me a mum and teaching me more about patience, resilience, perspective… and functioning on broken sleeps!! You’re my biggest motivation and my greatest adventure.

Hope today feels gentle, appreciated and full of love in whatever way Mother’s Day looks for you 🤍
