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
- Dog Friendly Workout
- Top Ten At-Home Exercise for Total Body Toning
*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.
- Mommy & Me Tabata Workout
- Get Outside and Celebrate Earth Day!

Thank you for a chance to win! This is an awesome prize. I need motivation. I would love a lifetime membership because it would kick my butt in gear. I am a healthy person, but every time winter comes I loose my motivation. I want to be healthy all year a round, and I think having your app would help me do that. Being able to have access right at the tips of my fingers would be amazing.
Hello!
My name is Kortney, I?m 25 years old, 5ft 4in height. I have two children 5 year old and 3 year old. I started my weight loss journey on February 21, 2018. I have been slightly over weight my entire life. Once I got married and had my beautiful babies, of course I just kept getting bigger.
When I started this journey I was at 234lbs. Today May 24, 2018 I?m at 214.6lbs. I have a long way to go! This has been hard for me, I?ve had bad days right along with the good and I?m constantly finding ways to keep myself motivated.
My sister, Laura who I tagged. She?s getting married in October 2019. Where she hasn?t been over weight her entire life, as an adult she has gained unwanted weight. We come from a ?fat family? I would say, 90% of the people we are related to are unhealthy and over weight. We both want to look and feel great on her big day.
I?ve read through some of the other comments. There are plenty of people who are deserving of this gift. I do hope I win, of course! No matter what, I will continue on my journey to become the healthy, happy woman I know I am. But hey, you can?t win something if you don?t enter!
Best of luck to everyone trying.
I need my Mojo back! I am miserable and having a tough time climbing out of it this time. I am a lifetime Yo-Yo that needs the string broke! You can help with that! I know I can do it with the right tools and motivation. I would love to have you and Chris part of my daily life for life!?
I?ve been trying to do this on my own and it isn?t working the way I?d like. I think if I had access to this, anytime and anywhere it could help push me into my goals. As a working Mom, I don?t have a gym or time to go the way I?d like, but I always have my phone. It?s been a tough couple of years so, this would help.
*I love this says ?say something nice? ?
Anyway, I would love to enter this giveaway. I am slowly getting out of my burn out and depression and staying on track health and fitness wise would help tremendously. I would like to share it with my mom, who recently started a fitness journey, first time ever, just before her 60th birthday!! On another note, you and Chris should come to Europe some time!!! Please!!! ?
Watching you and Chris ( and your family ?) make living a healthy lifestyle as a family look so obtainable. You have all these tips and mottos and suggestions not to mention workouts and recipes which help to make health, wellness, fitness, and nutrition a part of anyone?s life.
Me name is Eileen. When I discovered your guys? show it truly inspired me, but left me wondering what was the best way to lose weight for my body. I tried Herbalife, shakeology, not a fan of shake substitutions. I also didn?t know what it took to work out. I was able to lose 20 pounds on my own which was simple yet amazing. I struggled with my mental health during my weight loss journey which caused me to stop pursuing weight loss, and now I want to get back on track. I have always been the chubby girl, but loved to find active things to do even though I was never good at it. Boys didn?t date me, and I had people tell me I had to be skinny to be great. I didn?t listen. I did awesome things with my life, developed a higher self esteem, but now I want to do this for me. I come from a family where health and fitness are not properly taught. It?s more like a fun hobby, and to be fair a new discovery for my family. But to be honest without the proper knowledge there hasn?t been much improvement in the last year. In my family members constantly have some sort of health problem, and there?s definitely diabetes and being overweight on both sides of the family. As a new wife and future mother I want to pass on a better legacy to my future children with my husband. I don?t just want this app, I need it, my family needs it. The knowledge gained through this app will not just be kept to myself, but be known to family and anyone else that I could possibly help. I want to be a good influence, and just healthy.
So many people have great reasons to win this prize. I won’t be able to share on FB as I don’t FB and my friend doesn’t have Instagram.
But I’d love to win for us as we are going to be 50 soon and would like to finally shed the weight that had creeped up on us over the years. Plus the aches and pains are setting in and need to move a little more that just walking from the TV to the refrigerator ??????
We live in different states and encouraging each other through the app would be so great!!
It?s really hard for me to toot my own horn. I am absolutely sure that there is hundreds of people who deserve or need this lifetime app more than I do. But entering the contest and winning the app issomething I am doing for myself. I?ve got 5 kids (12,7,6, and 2 year old twins) so me time doesn?t always exist in a day. I spent the first three months of 2018 macro counting (thank you heidi) to get back down to my goal weight and now (macro counting for life lol) I want to tone up. This app would be a game changing tool for me to have at my finger tips. Thank you for the opportunity
