If Gyms Were Honest - Honest Ads. Haka gets revamp in Māori fitness programme. By Cleo Fraser Getting fit will no doubt be a New Year's resolution for many Kiwis after indulging over the festive break.
For those who aren't inspired by the treadmill, an Auckland couple have developed a unique fitness programme which uses haka movements to help shed extra kilos.

The daily online lessons run for 15 minutes and each is influenced by a Māori God.
