My Favorite Ways to Stay Fit This Summer: Preparing your summer bod starts way before the temperatures hit the 100s and continues throughout the summer!
In order to save you some time researching and planning out your workouts for the summer, I’ve put together my top four favorite workouts to keep you fit (while still leaving you time for the kids!):
- Four Minute Tabata Workout
- Oxygen Magazine Booty Building Workout

*And if you’re just beginning your transformation journey or want some amazing transformation tools, here is THE all-in-one post (filled with lots of links!) to get you started: How to Begin Your Transformation Journey?Step-by-Step
My Go-To Smoothie and Shake Recipes: On a hot summer day (and really, any day, right?), a smoothie or shake is a perfect meal! Smoothies help pack in those healthy micronutrients without even realizing you’re drinking your veggies.
They’re also a great way to stay cool and save yourself some time with meal prep?exactly what this mama needs with four littles running around all season long. Just add the ingredients to your blender and voila! Total plus: All of the recipes below are Powell Pack approved, kid-friendly treats that our family loves to drink! YUM.
Top Family Activities + Family Workouts: For me, summer is all about savoring that extra time with the kids and trying new things. While swimming and splash pads are a great way to cool down, we can’t ignore the fact that workouts are still a necessity too!
Adding a kid-friendly element to things like a Tabata workout is a great way to stay fit AND enjoy quality time as a family. Fit some “screen free” time into your daily summer schedule and get your whole family moving this summer with some of my favorite kid-friendly activities below.

Hi Heidi,
I would love to have this membership for life for my new husband and I. I just got remarried in February to my soulmate. In my previous marriage is really where I started to really struggle with my weight. I was in an abusive marriage and every day that passed I felt more hopeless and depression set in. After some time of working on myself I decided I was strong enough to walk away. Having 3 small children didn?t make that easy but God gave me peace about my choice so I trusted that! It?s been years now of spiritual and emotional healing that I am beyond grateful for.
Fast forward to a couple of years ago at a concert in my home state AZ. I met my Now husband who was playing on the stage that night…a keytar! Lol. We fought our feelings for almost a year, just in the friend zone. He was amazing, caring and he has a tremendous respect for women, like I?ve never seen before. I also couldn?t get out of my own way…he?s a touring musician in Nashville and plays for one of the top country artists on radio and I?m a single mom who does hair in GIlbert, AZ.
We decided we couldn?t deny that we felt we were led to one another and after 2 LONG years of a long distance relationship he asked me to marry him in January 2018! We decided to run away to Vegas and get married by Elvis!
This summer we final get to be together and join our families. Two soulmates and our 5 KIDS ? I have come so far in my life and God has blessed my beyond measure with healing and a new love from someone who only see me as good. I want so badly for my outside to reflect the joy I have inside. My husbands dad died this past December at 62 due to weight(heart). My husband Joe and I both struggle with weight and we both feel lost and overwhelmed on where to start. We met in our thirties so I know any amount of time from here will feel too short but we want to live a long, healthy life together! I mean REAL LONG! Lol. It would be life changing for us! Thanks ?
I have such a passion for healthy living and I’m a huge fan. I’d love to win!
I?ve struggled my entire life with body image and self esteem issues. 10+ years of anorexia and bulimia and so many ups and downs in between. I was in the darkest places at times, in an abusive relationship. In my mid 20s I finally tried to get help but it took years. I can happily say that I have mostly ?recovered? over the past 4 years. I am now happily married with one child and another on the way. I never thought I would be able to have kids after what I put my body through. But two pregnancies have brought on a whole new set of insecurities and changes in my body that I cannot control. With little ones in the house I struggle to find the time to fit in my workouts or meal prep. I can only imagine what it will be like with two. I find myself feeling triggered lately and negative thoughts seeping back in with this second pregnancy. I want to continue to be healthy and a role model for my children and I think I?m going to need all the help I can get
Getting the app for a lilfetime would be life altering. i have followed your plan and lost 40 pounds and kept it off for four years. I still follow your maintenance plans and daily hugs now. You both have made a difference in so many lives that you should be so proud. I still watch your show sometimes on youtube for motivational purposes. I always need motivation to exercise and eating healthy, so this app would be perfect. Thanks for all that you do for people who you don’t even know, you are both so caring.
Hello to both of you! Thank you for the opportunity of winning an awesome prize! I love reading about you… family and professional lives. I truly admire you!
I deserve to win because I will turn 50 in July. I’ve worked hard losing 25lbs in the last 10 months. I quit smoking almost three years ago and packed on the pounds. I’ve become a runner. I spent months doing 5 to 6 workouts weekly. I have become fitter than the average 20 year old!
In my year of 50, I have a list of 50 things I want to do and many of them require me to be strong and healthy! Lifetime access to your app would help me achieve that goal and stay fit for the rest of my life!
I want to keep challenging myself… Reach further and attain new goals! Lose that 10lbs that is still stuck there! Those late night cookie attacks are so hard to avoid! But hey. . No one is perfect! 80/20 all the way.
Heidi and Chris, you rock!!! Keep inspiring! Keep motivating! Keep teaching! You are transforming the lives of many! Thank you!
Good luck to everyone entering!
I follow you and Chris on Insta and FB and have for a while now. I would love to be chosen for the lifetime membership so I can continue on my fitness journey for years to come. You know what you?re doing and what works. I started to do your vacuum twist and am already starting to notice a difference! Pick me please!! ????

I started using the transform app on 12/31/17 and it has been life changing for me, and for others around me. At the beginning, I was skeptical because I had been brainwashed by years of the ?calories in, calories out? mentality and constantly attempted to under eat to lose weight. The first few weeks I struggled to eat all of the food, yet I was losing. I held off on adding in the exercise portion of the app until I was sure the diet alone would work – and it did! During the first month I lost 12 lbs on the nutrition portion alone. At that point I was all in and decided that the app, the Powell?s, and carb cycling are what my body and mind needed to change. I decided to add on Coaching by Transform with the amazing Doxsey to make sure I stayed accountable to others and not just myself. I got caught up on all of the exercise and now, nearly 5 months in, I have lost at least 36 lbs. Last week my loss was a little slower than usual so I took an adjustment in the app – it is so amazing that the app is so smart that it can adjust your nutrition when you need it!! I plan on being a Transform App / Doxstar for life. It not only is helping me to change both inside and out but people are me are seeing it and also wanting to change and give it a try. It?s a very powerful thing to also help others throughout this process!
I would like to win because I?ve been on this weight loss journey for the better part of two years. I need to lose some more weight and currently going through my infertility journey and I believe this app would be life changing for me.
It would be amazing to have it now, pre partum and I KNOW I will need it post partum. To keep me in check and reach all my goals and than some. I want to be in the best shape now, during and after a pregnancy. I?ve been overweight my entire life and to be able to have this opportunity would be absolutely amazing.
I would love to win the lifetime subscription to your app! I am a middle school teacher which is an incredibly empowering position to work with adolescents everyday. However, it is also a very exhausting job. I work out everyday after school but if I could use your app to add some ease to my nutrition and workout plan, it would be incredible. I am always striving to be my best self and would love to have this app be a part of that.
I love you guys! You are literally couple goals. I would love to win the transformation giveaway. I just had our last baby at the end of February. I gained about 50 lbs and I?m having a hard time getting it off. I?m a binge eater so I?ll do good for a little bit and than if I seem to have anything that?s not healthy it throws me all off. I want to know how to eat a balanced lifestyle and stay slim and healthy for my boys. Thank you guys, I love following you on Instagram and loved your tv show.

Heather
