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.

Hi Heidi,
You and Chris are so inspirational and makes me motived every day. Watching your instagram videos are what I enjoy seeing every day. Weight has been a struggle for most of my life. I was able to lose the weight when I was younger and that I am older I am having a little tougher of a time. It was not until the last 6 months that I took it very serious as I have an enlarged thyroid and Hashimoto disease. I have loss some weight but I just can not seem to get rid of the belly fat. I try to eat right and workout 5 days a week.
I tagged my daughter as she watches what she eats too. She works out 5 days a week too. She knows all the struggles have endured with my weight . I know that she does not want that to happen to her. I want to feel great and have a better and healthier lifestyle for my self and my daughter.
Thank you for the chance.
Love you guys ????
Kelly
PS Those vacuum twists are brutal but I do them every day for the last two weeks
I am a single mom, working full time and going to school. Finding time for myself is really hard now a days. My goal is to become a better version of myself and with this membership I know I am working with the best team out there to help me achieve my goal. I mean i would love, love, love to win and be able to help others as well. This is an awesome opportunity for all of us on this blog also looking to become a better version of themselves. Good luck to everyone!!!! keeping my fingers crossed I win! ??
At 47 years old this is the only system that has worked for me. I am in this for life regardless, but I would love for my friend Lori K to win the lifetime membership! Please pick her!!:)
I love what you do and am in the world of building my own fitness empire in my community. I’m an active duty solder in the US Army, a mother the world’s cutest little girls and a brand new female business owner. Winning this would be a huge help to me and my fitness business. Every one needs a go-to for motivation and knowledge and a reminder that we can do it and be successful too. ????????????
Hi guys I think I should win because first and foremost I love you guys I have been following you for years I miss extreme weight loss ooops I got sidetracked lol I think I should win because I am 52 so there is less time you would have to deal with me lol and I have been struggling with my weight since I turned 45 it is so hard for me now I need you guys I retired from the post office in 2012 and that was the start of my down fall. I have had your app for about 2 years I just started following it completely. I would love to be able to do it for life.
Wow! Reading all of these entries makes me wonder how you will only pick one. The reason that I think I deserve a shot at winning this is. I have PCOS and have struggled to lose weight for my whole life. I am now 31 and have been trying to have a kid for the past 9 years. To achieve this it has been made very clear to me that I need to lose the weight. I have been trying to get fit and health for the past 15 plus years. I have always loved hiking in the mountains and doing sporty things. Some of what I can’t do because of this access weight is hanging on to me. I have to lose more than 100 pounds. Let’s be honest probably about 150 and want to do it the right way. I would love to have you and Chris coach me. Even if it is only over phone. Now I have a friend that is trying to lose as well. Not as much as me but I would love to be able to gift her with this tool as well. As I think it is the motivation that she needs to get it done as well.
I would love to win because my friend Seanna and I have begun our weight loss journeys around the same time and are both exploring ways to a healthier lifestyle, all while tackling the struggles of surviving your twenties – a time of busyness, stress, and overeating at times. I have lost 15 pounds in 8 months but would like to learn more about staying fit, staying healthy, and doing my part to see the benefits of a healthy lifestyle later in life, especially since heart disease and diabetes run rampant in my family. I hope to educate myself and others to spread awareness on how to stay active and fit for life, and help spread the message.
Simply put, this is a lifelong battle for me & I desperately need lifetime support. I feel like I?ve spent so much time making sure others are happy & I never worry about myself. Whether it?s my son, or family or friends, or the group members in my divorce support group, but I need this to ensure my success and happiness. I love everything Heidi & Chris stand for, and I know in my mind & heart that with their help I would attain success & be able to motivate and help others. Please choose me – I?ve tagged multiple friends on IG too.
I would absolutely love to win lifetime access to the transform app because I am wanting to take my training to the bext step. I have been working out for 4 or 5 months now but I need help with some of the weight training. I feel like your app would be perfect. Also it would help my boyfriend who is a marine vet and got hurt while being enlisted. He needs lots of motivation to get back on his workouts and I feel like following this app would be perfect for him. One last thing, I absolutely love following you! You are so humble.
A lifetime of no more roller coaster ‘diets’, a lifetime of guided, appropriate workouts, a lifetime of support and guidance….what is not to love about this opportunity? I am done with diets, sporadic workouts that are unrealistic for my schedule and life. I am ready for consistency. I am ready for guidance. I am ready for a healthy lifestyle!! Thank you guys for this opportunity!!
