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.

Just had asked God for a sign and this pop out on my Instagram. I need help I am turning 40and I never had a good relationship with food like never I need desperately to find who I am. And one can ask what food ha to do with?!? Everything because I hate being stuck in this overweight body, so pls pls pls. Help!!!
I?m a military spouse mom of 4 and have been with the app since day 1. I?ve loved my results so far and plan to be a member for life! Thank you guys for all you do!
My daughter is retiring from gymnastics this summer after 12 years(she?s only 14!). I could think of no better way to have her stay conditioned and transition into a workout mindset away from the gym than the transform app. And what a great moment for her and I to use our apps together!!
I would love to win a lifetime of your app! I’m a completely single mom (full custody) of two very active athletic boys. I have no money left over for myself and I’m working on finding time for myself. Unfortunately all my closest relatives have passed away, so it is literally just me and the boys.
Hi Heidi,
I love following you and Chris and seeing the lives you all change. Plus, I love seeing your adorable and silly kiddos! I am a mom myself, I have a sweet 15 month old boy. He is my world and I want to show him what a healthy and happy momma is for his whole life. I didn?t gain a bunch of extra weight while pregnant but I have not been able to get rid of my last 10lbs from pregnancy and it really weighs on me. I would love the opportunity to have the resources you all provide in the transform app to help me kick off these pounds and keep that healthy lifestyle through any other pregnancies and to show my child/children that healthy lifestyle as well.
For the second lifetime membership I would give that to my momma. She has always struggled with her weight and now more than ever she needs her good health to take care of my pappy (dad). He was in a traumatic accident April 5th which resulted in his right leg being amputated. He spent 43 days in a hospital setting and is finally out and under the care of my mom. Having the easy recipes right at her fingertips I know would help her eat better. They both would benefit from the healthy foods and strengthening the app would provide them.
Thank you so much for this opportunity and for the kindness you all share all over!
I would love the opportunity to give this to my best friend Ashley! She and I are busy raising kids and helping our families and having the time to workout is so important! I want to be a great role model for my kids, after having 8 surgeries since birth, surviving premature birth at 26 weeks, and God bringing me out of a 2 week coma as an adult; LIFE is a GIFT!
Having the joy of working out for my self, my family and our friends is the joy of LIFE!
Heidi-
I don?t have a fancy story, I just have my own simple story! I lost my Dad in August 2017 after he had a sudden heart attack. My Mom found him in the morning and it was really the worst day of my life. He wasn?t in good health (Diabetes) and mainly this was from inactivity. I tried and tried to encourage him to move just a little everyday, so he could get thos extra lbs off.
So I grieve… and in December I decided I wanted to be the healthiest I could be for my family. So I found your app and signed up for a month. Then quickly realized that this is how I can live the rest if my life.
I signed up for three months after that month ended.. and I honestly have not felt this good in the longest time!!! I love the meals and I have learned to love the exercise!
To win the lifetime membership would be amazing!!!

I have been using for a month and love this program! I am busy mom of three girls, have my own company working with kids with autism 5 days a week teaching them. Being fit and healthy is a must for my job and family. I would love the lifetime access but doesn?t fit budget at moment. I have been on an eight year journey and this has been a blessing and really working for me to reach my goals. Thank you for your consideration God Bless.
I would love to win your lifetime app because I had an accident 4 years ago and I got a traumatic brain injury from it and the one thing my neurologist told me to do was stay active for healing. I love the variety that you guys share plus the healthy recipe are an added bonus. I tagged my sister because after my accident I was in a coma for 6 weeks and the hospital for 2 months and between her and my husband I was never alone so she definitely deserves it!
Thank you so much for this opportunity! I started my journey before this app came out but had hit a plateau?hard. I was struggling to figure out if I needed to increase or decrease my macros. I would change them and wait a couple of weeks, change them again wait a couple of weeks, but I was never able to break my plateau. I started with the book but with how much activity I was doing I was feeling hungry and tired all the time. The app came out 3 weeks later. As soon as I heard about the app I was all in. I joined and started with weight loss turbo cycle and I haven?t looked back. I have now completed 2 phases of weight loss, 1 phase of physique and I am in my last week of my second phase of the at home body sculpting. I have several friends and family members that have also started using the app. My mom just jumped back on for the second time. This app changed my game completely and for that reason I purchased the buy one get one year membership back in November. I would love to purchase the lifetime but with a year and a half remaining I will wait until it is hopefully offered again. You guys have me for life either way but I wanted to thank you so much for helping me break my plateaus, helping me fall in love with lifting weights, and giving me a reason to try different kinds of cardio. I love this program. I love the recipes, the workouts, and the team behind this program. You guys rock!
