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.

Pick me! Pick me!! Love the app and it has transformed my mindset when it comes to food! Love the recipes and how the app tweaks along with your progress. I would love to be a lifetime member to enjoy my grandkids along with my husband for as long as my time here on earth is. Thank you and the transform team for this wonderful opportunity.
I?m a really busy mom of 3 always on the road for kids sports events with hardly any time to myself or my health. I?m a yo-yo dieter and very unhappy with my weight. My husband always reminds me that he loves me how I am but I need to love myself too. I would love to win this and would like to gift the other access to my sister who is also struggling in the weight department. I?ve been following you two for so long and see you as an inspiration but I just can?t seem to get there. Thank you for the opportunity you give so many
I would absolutely love winning a lifetime subscription to the Transform App! Health is will always be a lifelong battle and with Transform I could always have a tool to turn to for nutrition and exercise advice. I love the approach you and Chris use and you two are just so real and personal. It makes goals realistic and attainable. Thanks for all of the sacrifices you guys make to help improve everyone around you! ??
My Name is Jamie Nicole. I shared the giveaway on Facebook and tagged 4 friends. I?m a mom of 3 and I deserve to this giveaway because my kids deserve to have their mom around as long as possible. I?ve spent so long caring for these little humans I?ve forgotten about myself along the way. I need to be the example of health and wellness they desperately need but I need your help Heidi. Thank you for this opportunity. -Jamie
I would love to win this lifetime membership, I?m a working mother of Four children and managing my weight has been a problem over the years. I?m hoping that this time I will be able to succeed with your help and then I can enjoy my life with my family for the rest of my life. Which with your help should be longer and more fullfiled.
I would team up with my sister Diane so we can help and encourage each other on this wonderful journey to happiness. Fingers crossed for Sunday and I hope to hear from you xxxx
I absolutely love following your life and story. I live in AZ, have an amazing husband and 4 beautiful kids (8,6,4 & one in heaven) when my son passed away that is when the battle of weight began. Food became an idol and a crutch. My heart wants the change and your app would make it even more amazing. Thank you for pouring your heart into all that you do!
Thank you for the chance to win a great prize. I would love the chance to have your help getting my life back into shape. This would be a great opportunity for me.
Hello! I should win because I should win! LOL I was part of the 1st AFCC and I loved how the workouts made me feel and it totally transformed the way I eat and it started me on meal prepping. I have been eating some of AFCC’s food since then and I never stopped meal prepping. I also joined the app for a few months but it did not really work for me food calories/quantity-wise but the workouts are amazing. I loved the addition of recipes regularly, I still make some of them. Now I know what it takes for me to lose weight it would be easier while using the app.
Plus I am a great “advertiser” ! When I try something I like to talk about it, post about it, take pictures on Facebook and Instagram. 🙂
Why do I deserve to win lifetime access? I?m a cancer survivor, Marine wife and mother to three amazing young girls, who is about to turn 38. I lost my own mother (who was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was only a year older than I am) when I was just 24 years old. I don?t want my daughters to face the trauma of living out their young lives without me, the way I had to. I want to LIVE for them, but at 230 lb, down from 239 just a couple weeks ago, I?m only just beginning to do so. I want them to learn from my new healthy liftestyle, so that they don?t face their own weight problems, when they are older. I would also love to stand proudly next to my husband, who is a Marine that is ten years younger than I am, and not feel like people are disgusted that this handsome, fit and young man is with a frumpy, fat and old woman. In six years of marriage, I?ve yet to attend a single Marine Corpse Ball. That?s not fair to him. He should be able to have his wife on his arm. So, that?s my first big goal. I want to attend the ball, this November. I can do that with the confidence I will gain with your help, through the app. If chosen as a winner, I would utilize every bit of wisdom and skill you teach me.
I?m a 55 yo mom to 6 and LiLi to 7 kids. I faithfully go to the gym but my nutrition is blocking my progress. I need an app that will give me the tools to train more efficiently and guide me in my nutrition. I have a very limited diet bc I don?t like a lot of foods. But there are few sweets I don?t like. Therefore, my diet stinks and I need help with ideas: what to eat, how to make it, when and how much to eat. Also would love some great new ideas on my workouts. Your app is the only one I?ve found that does all of these things. Help me get healthy and strong for all these kiddos I love, but more importantly for myself.
