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!

On instagram I tagged my mom as my person, because that?s exactly what she is, my person for everything! We have both struggled with our weight all of our lives, countless ?diets? and attempts to lose weight, that we always seem to fail. My mom has diabetes, and I fear that if we don?t lose weight, that her diabetes will eventually have its way with her life , and for me my fear is I will also develop diabetesI recently signed up on the app, and have already lost 5 pounds, I would love to win this for both my mom and myself, to continue our journey, and also to transform our live!
I would LOVE to win the giveaway! Both my sisters have memberships there and I just can?t afford to pay $300 a month for a GYM membership right now. So winning this and being able to workout with them would so so amazing!! All three of us have kids and we are all constantly trying to motivate each other to live strong and healthy and this would be the next best thing to keep us on the SAME track! ( literally?)
Thank you Heidi and Chris for the opportunity to win a lifetime subscription to the app. This would truly be a dream for me. I don?t have weight to lose. For me it is about making transformation a lifestyle. I have followed the app since it first came out. The app has truly changed my life. It has taken away the stress of figuring out a workout or what to eat. I look forward to getting up every morning and working out with Chris and Heidi. My transformation is not about weight loss, it?s about staying healthy and energetic for my family. I have an energetic 4 year old. A husband who drives a truck for a living so he is gone a lot. Also both my parents, just this past year underwent 4 surgeries.. All of which can be stressful. The app has helped me stay on track and continue working toward my goal of a healthy lifestyle so that I can help my family. For me having a lifetime access to the app would be a dream come true. I love the workouts and the food. Most of all I love the feel of Chris and Heidi working out with me everyday in my home gym. Thank you both for this opportunity. You are both such an inspiration to so many.
I?d love to win this for my mom! She has always done so much for everyone and never takes time for herself! Winning this for her would be the perfect way to jump start her physical activity. I want her around 100 more years ?????
This would be the perfect way to begin our life together as a fit *married* couple. We just got marrried a few weeks ago, when we started dating working out was one of the things we always did together, but as time passed we each workout out on our own schedule with our own plans (or we didn?t). It would be so wonderful to have an app at our fingertips to guide us and United us. We can both follow workouts together or apart. Plus we love you guys!
You both have always been an inspiration. I love what you?re about, and how you always give selflessly. My son needs you both desperately, he?s had many challenges in his 26 years of life. He needs to turn it all around with your help and encouragement and do this the right way and fall in love with the process and results.
Would love this to help get my husband on board ! And to really challenge myself in a deiffernt way then i have before ! Love you guys and this would be a great opportunity for me?!
I love the Transform App!! It has given me so much freedom to love food in a whole new way and appreciate my body more!! I have been using the app for 5/6 months now and I couldn?t be happier with the results. Just eating along with me, my boyfriend has had great results as well. We?d LOVE to win the 2 lifetime memberships so we can keep pushing forward and crushing our goals together. Thank you Tranform App for teaching me important lessons, values and most importantly- integrity!!!! I look forward to continuing to transform and fingers crossed winning a LIFETIME membership!!! Love & Gratitude.
I would love to win your giveaway to get myself back in gear! I?m four months postpartum. I was an avid gym goer before baby, but had a very rough pregnancy and delivery that made it unable for me to workout anymore (hyperemesis, low blood pressure). I was also diagnosed with gestational diabetes, which limited my eating to strictly low carb veggies, meat and cheese (I couldn?t even have fruit ?) after my baby came it made it all worth it of course, but I fell off the healthy eating wagon to make up for all pregnancy cravings I couldn?t have. Now I?m more ready than ever to jump back in with both feet and get back to a more balanced diet! It?s been a lot harder getting back to a healthy lifestyle than I thought it would be. The only ab move I can do without hurting my c-section incision is your vacuum twists, which I?ve been doing for a month now! I would love to see what else you have in store for someone like me!

I need to try something new and different! I have tried every ?diet? known, some success, but still a long way to go The struggle is real! I have been working out and what I think is ?eating well? 90% time for over 2 years and the scale is NOT moving! I love your work outs and tips and would love a new journey!!
