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.

- Get Outside and Celebrate Earth Day!

I?ve been using your book Extreme Transformation before your app came out! When the app came out I was all like thank god! Super excited to move towards building muscle. I?ve lost and gained 100lbs twice! Over the last 3 years on this program I?ve finally committed to life long change. I would be thrilled to have a lifetime membership to ensure this commitment never has an excuse to give up. And I really want to see every exciting future update you guys do to the app! ??
I have been over weight all my life, I know this transformation is for a life time. The encouragement and support I get has been amazing…I will continue to grow/lose learn more about myself and to put the ?bad? stuff from my past aside, knowing it?s there but not letting it control me…this is a portion of what I have learned so far…I can only imagine what?s to come! Thank you Chris and Heidi!
Life time membership hopeful! ?
Hi, I would love to win. I have always loved fitness & started working out pretty early. When I choose this lifestyle and really got serious with it, something would always happen. I would break my arm (yes 3 different times & 2 surgeries). I have had a total of 17 surgeries (for different things). I would sprain an ankle or have my back flare up & put me out for awhile.
In the last 3 years I have been pregnant off & on. In July of 2016 I was 7 months pregnant when God called Jasmin home. After that I was pregnant 2 more times & lost those babies as well.
I fell in a dark place & couldn?t seem to get myself out at all.
I think the extra push from a couple I follow & adore would help! I would love to be the winner of this if you would choose me 🙂
Thank you for reading my story!
Raluca ??
Hey Chris and Heidi!
I’m Ciera I’m 25 and I’m a stay at home mommy. Our daughter is almost two.. I’ve been having a really hard time getting off the last of the pregnancy weight.. I would love to have the app for the recipes and workouts all in one place! Also not having to pay would be huge for us!
P.s the vacuum twist is awesome and has helped a lot with my tummy thank you Heidi!
I should totally win because I would LOVE the support, motivation, encouragement, and journey of a lifetime to exercise, eat healthy, and live my life to the very fullest!!! I just have birth last night to my last baby and I am eager to get going on my fitness journey! I want to be able to live a wonderful life as long as I can with the beautiful family I have. ?????? And the support of you and Chris would be even greater by my side!
pick me! My husband and I are on a health journey and just started! He has high blood pressure and is trying to lower it with diet and exercise. We have three kiddos that keep me busy and I will admit I have a hard time finding time for caring for me and this would just bless us so much!!!!! Would be so thankful!!!
I?m a mother of 4. Have gained 80 lbs each and every pregnancy. My baby is now 2, and I?ve almost reached back up to my delivering weight. It?s been hard with a husband in grad school, moving to three different states since, and battling anxiety and depression that has seemed to grasp a hold of me so tight. I WANT the change. I NEED the change. I hope to be the mother they need. The example they need. And love myself so freely, they?ll never EVER question my love for each of them.
This App has ?transformed? me. It is the first time I am choosing myself. My husband was sick for 6 years and all my attention went to him. Now we have two children of our own and we are guardians of his brothers children. Most of my attention goes to them now. I love my family but over the years had lost myself. This is the first time in a long time that I am investing in myself and it is changing who I am and how I treat everyone in My life. I am learning how to be okay with putting myself first. A lifetime membership would be amazing. Thank you for the opportunity and all you do!
I would love to win!! My husband and i work out together at home and have for years. It would be great to have access to the transform app to have variety and smart training at home. I woukd feel so blessed to be the winner??
I love following you and enjoy all the tips. I am at a point where I really need to challenge myself in a differnt way then I have before. Love you guys and this would be awesome!
Con’t…. No matter what I do I don’t see results. I’ve done everything, different workouts, running a marathon and eating clean and healthy. Nothing works to make changes in my body. I feel firmer, but can’t get the “down comforter of fat” off that covers my muscles. Then it is hard to stay motivated when I don’t see results. I need something different and something that works.
