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

*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.

Thanks! #pickme postworkoutselfiesarenotpretty
Hi Everyone (Heidi, Chris and team)
I have been using the app for almost a year now. Enjoying every minute of it. I have learned so much about myself this last week. With joining Chris Doxey. To have this app for a lifetime would enhance my mental heath, exercise and diet. I could continue doing everything I enjoy daily with this app for a lifetime. I can?t thank you guys enough for all your help, encouragement, and support.
This app has been a game changer for me and my friends and family. I would never have an excuse not to do the things I need to do in a day. For the rest of my life.
Thanks again for all you guys do.
Jody ??Ly (I did it Heidi) ?
I?ve followed you guys for awhile now and love what you do to help people feel better about themselves and reach their weight loss goals. I have always wanted to buy your app but haven?t had the funds to afford it. I would love to have workouts and nutrition all in one place as I try to get rid of some baby weight. You guys are awesome and I love following you.. PS Heidi your vacuum twists are??.
I just love you guys! You are so cute together, but REAL. I really appreciate that on social media nowadays. I’d LOVE to win the free membership because I know I’d never get tired of “working out” with you two. ? I have 6 kids now and I really want to slim down and tone up. I have a lot of baby weight to lose! I would be so grateful.
I would love to win this lifetime giveaway, have been using the app for a year now and the encouragement and motivation has been so very valuable to my transformation. I love the workouts, Meal Plan and accountability that this app gives me. As someone with chronic health issues this is the first time I have felt energy and confidence all thanks to this app and the community that supports it. Thank you so much.
Hi there! My name is Heidi and I met you two a couple years back at the fit on in Utah. I have watched every episode of EWL and follow you guys very closely. I always get so emotional seeing how you touch the lives of those around you. I have battled my weight since I can remember. Starting off at 185, being 5’2″ in high school. 2 years later I was down to 137. Within 2 years I was back up to 200 lbs. I had run 2 marathons, been certified as a personal trainer through NASM and had a passion for helping others live a happy and healthy life. However, I was living through my own hell in a toxic relationship that helped me gain all my weight back up and more. It wasnt until I found any shred of strength in me to end the relationship that I started to find passion again in my fitness journey. About 3 months after finding my now partner, I become unexpectedly pregnant. I was 196 lbs at the time. I gained 50 lbs with my pregnancy leaving me extremely overweight, uncomfortable and extremely unhappy. I tried to do what I had known worked for me kn the past to lose weight, but my body wouldn’t budge. I researched Keto and gave it a tried and dropped all the way down to about 178 lbs. I think it was a shock for my body since I am such a sugar addict. However, my body adapted and I stopped losing. I am now about 170 and just being active, meal prepping and making healthier choices, but including all food groups, which is definitely more realistic in the long run. The reason I feel strongly about winning this giveaway, is that I have MULTIPLE people around me that can benefit from the knowledge I gain from you. I already have the passion to see others achieve their goals and turn their lives around. I am ready to be used as a tool to reach even more people than myself. I want to build an empire, just like your and Chris have. I want to make a difference. I love you guys and am so grateful for the knowledge and example you give out to the world!
This year has been so hard. My greatest blessing, my baby boy, and my toughest hardship, losing my dad…have all happened this year. I want to be the best mom that I can, I want to be healthy for my family, but it’s hard to find strength and motivation in a time of such deep grief. I remember watching you and Chris on Extreme Weightloss, you’re both so positive, so determined, so disciplined. I feel like you train the whole person, not just the body. Id love some help ?
Wow there are so many great comments on here it really goes to show how many people you have seriously inspired to live a healthy fit life, with so many fitness options to choose from you and Chris stand out amongst them all, your commitment to each other and your family your genuine love and care for the people who’s lives you have helped to transform. I’m a mom to 10 children and 5 grandchildren taking care of my health is a priority, yes I’m guilty as most moms are of taking care of everyone else and everything else before myself, if you do that you will pay for it, it’s very important to take care of yourself so you can be a healthy version of yourself, there are so many excuses I could make but I’m tired of excuses. My only option is to workout at home, my meals are all from scratch and the workouts are a very important part of my physical and mental health, so yup I would love to win the app for life. Thank you for your inspiration and the most amazing love story…
Well first I have to say that this is an amazing opportunity! Now why I feel like I should win? Well I come from a family of people who have never put a priority on taking care of themselves and struggled most of my teenage life with feeling insecure and not knowing how to achieve the level of confidence or fitness that I really desired. I didn?t know what eating healthy looked like so I just tried to eat less and never had any energy. I though that if I exercised I could eat whatever I wanted and gained weight because of that mentality. I struggled with eating disorders and self worth for way too long. I finally decided to reasearch how to better take care of myself and how to be healthy and exercise effectively. This would mean the world to me because it would mean I would know what I needed to do to stay healthy. I could get to the point where I feel confident in my own skin and I could finally understand what it is to love a healthy lifestyle. If I won I would finally have the tools I needed to be who I?ve always wanted to be and finally find balance in my everyday life. So it would mean the world to mean to win this. I don?t want to feel insecure anymore and I want to take control of my life and this would give me the opportunity to do just that.
