When sporting royalty, aka Richie and Gemma McCaw throw down the gauntlet, you know the call to action will not go unheard.

The recently married couple posted a video to Instagram giving a shout-out to Plunket’s latest campaign Burpees for Babies, as well as laying down a challenge for a few friends.

The clip shows the pair smashing out five incredibly well-executed burpees, with a well-pleased Gemma rating their performance “cool”.

Gemma tagged a few sporting names to step up, including mates Israel and Daisy Dagg.

Despite the fact that Daisy is almost eight months pregnant, the clip she posted showed she burpee’d with the best of them.

Monty Betham was also challenged by Gemma and roped in a few Boxing Alley trainers to join in.

Our sister magazine NEXT also showed their burpee style with the whole team stepping up to the challenge (although they did ask if one burpee each was cheating?).

For five of the most graceful burpees you’re likely to see check out ONE News weather presenter Daniel Corbett’s contribution.

We’re hoping to see a few others of those tagged to take part step up; including Beauden Barrett and Hannah Laity, Jerome Kaino, Joe Parker, Stan Walker, KJ Apa and Lydia Ko.

The challenge will raise funds for Plunket’s Raise a Bundle campaign which runs till the end of March.

Text FIVE to 2448 to make a $3 donation to the campaign.
