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

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 win your giveaway because your app is amazing and I can see it being the tool I need to get in shape. I already have the one year but it would be so nice to not worry about renewing. I have struggled with my weight all my life but this last year and a half have been extremely stressful with my parents health and it has resulted in me gaining so much weight. I am a 911 Dispatcher and help people all the time. I need help. My kids need a healthy mom.
Hi Heidi!
What an amazing thing you are doing by offering two lifetime memberships for free to the TRANSFORM App! I?m a stay at home mom with two teenage step kids and a toddler and just recently found out I am pregnant. So, much like yourself, I understand what it is like to be a mom of many children and also feel the need to maintain a career, take care of yourself, take care of your house, and her husband. I am super interested in health and nutrition and have been in school for year now to become a certified health coach and I?m looking into doing online school to become a certified nutritionist as well. Having the transform app at my fingertips for a lifetime would be extremely beneficial not only for my physical health but my mental health. Us moms put in so much work for everyone around us but sometimes we forget about ourselves. I was determined after my daughter was born via c-section to get back into shape and be the healthiest version of me. Not only did I get back into shape, I am in the best shape of my life! We are currently getting equipment for an at home gym so I would finally be able to use the App and really create the results I want after baby #2 arrives.
Hope you have an amazing summer with your kiddos and your hubby! Creating memories is so important and THE best thing you can do for your family!
Sending loving hugs,
Kaitlin from Southern California (where is is also EXTREMELY STINKIN? HOT!)
After years of not taking care of myself, I would like to take the first step. And it would be absolutely awesome if I could change my life with the help of your amazing program. I watched the show many times and was always impressed how Chris and you would support those people on so many ways. And even now on Instagram or your blog. The positivity and support are something both me and my soon to be husband could really use after some tough years. We are ready for it, I hope we get the chance to deserve your help! Thanks so much for the opportunity, the persons who will win this are very very very lucky!
I’m a Type one diabetic single mom that could use some help. I struggle with weightloss and am very uncreative with food options. Help with diet and at home workouts/kid involved workouts would be fantastic!
This would be amazing to win, so my husband and I can get fit together. We want a more active amd healthy lifestyle with our kids, but we’re struggling to get started.
I am slightly new to the lifting and fitness industry, even though I played sports my whole life. I have learned more about fitness and lifting and being an overall healthy person from your page, then I have all of my sports careers and my current prep! There are so many things I aspire to be, and like you and your family is a big one. This prep has been really hard on me mentally and physically, it being my first ever. Your posts, stories, and live videos have been huge lifesavers and happy moments for me through my whole prep so far. I have not been able to pull away from prep, working out consistently, and becoming healthier overall to try your app yet; but I have seen all reviews and posts RAVING about how amazing it is. I cannot tell you guys how much it would mean if I were able to become a lifetime member and be trained by you two. I look up to you in all possible ways and I am so insanely glad I found your guys pages !!
I have struggle with my weight my entire life. I?m so back and forth and back and forth. I?ve recently gotten into fitness and am loving it. I?m about to run a marathon and I go to the gym every day to lift but I NEED something like your amazing app to show me and tell me exactly what to do! Me and my mom watch your show allllll the time. We love your relationship and how you make it seem so easy to exercise and eat right ! I always tell my mom to send me to Arizona and train and eat with you guys 24/7! That would make my life honestly ? I?ve struggled with every eating disorder in the book, and I know you battled that as well and won! So I think this would be amazing and really really help me and my life and be able to stay on track and become a fit MILF like you!!! also I never ever win anything so this would mean the absolute world to me!! ?????? Also I?m a poor college student who can?t afford something like this month to month so it would be amazing ! I love your family and what you all stand for. ??
I would LOVE to win a lifetime membership! Being a stay at home mom makes it hard to get motivated to workout and your app would help so much! You?re the best!
I love your app! It has kept me active and motivated more than anything else I?ve ever done. It would be amazing to have lifetime access. ??
Hi Heidi,
First, Thank you so much for doing the back on track to put me back into a proper mindset. I am on day three and just finished my 5 minutes of walking lunges! Holy Quads!! I just started regularly exercising again in the month of May. We moved to a new location and my self care went towards other things such as packing and unpacking etc. You and Chris are just awesome people and I truly love how your hearts are just for serving others in this area and really growing people not just physically but emotionally and mentally. I believe the mental is my biggest defeat. I have wanted to write into yall so many times because I just can’t seem to shake this weight no matter what I try. My hormones are everywhere with PCOS symptoms which makes weight dropping difficult. I did drop from 210 to 177 being on the candida diet but once I stopped that, which I was on for about a year, weight keeps creeping back even though my diet isn’t that bad. I am thinking with all the methods that I have tried my body just doesn’t know what to do with what I eat anymore and it’s very frustrating and this is where I get defeated. I wish I had a restart bottom like a computer! I weighed myself when I started working out 21 days ago and I weighed 189 and then I just weight myself again and I gained now it says 194. On a 5’4 frame medium build not where I want to go is up. I do know that my body puts on muscle quickly but I also know that I have a good percentage of fat that I need to lose so this where my minds thinks what else can I do, how else can I clean up my diet. When will I have the toned arms, legs and abs that I have always wanted. I have done programs from weight watchers to 21 days fix to Insanity. I have spent countless hours in the gym. Doing the weight lifting classes and zumba! I get to the point where sometimes I say why bother but this is also my passion. I want to physically look like what I work hard for. I want my two children who are 7 and 3 to see that it is important to take care of our bodies with proper exercise and nutrition. That these ways are beneficial to our health and it does pay off and that eating healthy is not yucky. I am so tired of the up and down with my body and wish that I can get to where I want to be. I have always wanted to work with people as a personal trainer and health coach but haven’t fulfilled this dream because I think if I don’t look that part how can I teach it. I actually just inquired about taking classes to become a personal trainer and someone called me back but I have yet to contact them because I am waiting on my body. Winning the Transform app could be my reset button! Thank you so much for all you do! Candice Granger
