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.
- Mommy & Me Tabata Workout
- Get Outside and Celebrate Earth Day!

So many incredible stories and deserving people already!! I am not any more or less deserving than anyone else- I had weight loss surgery when I was 15. My parents thought it would be a good idea for me- and it definitely helped me lose weight but mentally I was definitely not mature enough to go through that at that age. I didn?t know anything about nutrition or working out and it almost taught me that things could just be a quick fix in many aspects in life which is definitely not the case. The weight started to come back on. So I started running and doing weights here and there- still not educated on how to do them or what was right for me! I ended up getting a trainer and that definitely saved me! I lost the weight I had gained but more importantly I learned that keeping your body healthy is hard work! I recently went through IVF treatments for our first baby girl and she is now 6 months old! Those fertility drugs definitely took a toll on my body but I was able to stay active and healthy during my pregnancy! I just have some excess baby weight to lose and would love to use the app for quick at home workouts as well as workouts in the gym when I get a chance to go!! I would love to be able to use healthy recipes in the home since my husband and I both work it can get a little hectic! I am a nurse and am gone 12-14 hours :3 days a week so having those meals ready to go would help us stay on track. I have used your app as a trial run and have loved the convienece and how simple it is!! Pick me Chris and Heidi!
My wife and I love watching you two. We follow you and often talk about “the Powells.” You have been an inspiration to us. It is hard being a family with low income and young children to make time (and energy) to work out, but we understand the importance of it, largely because of your example. My wife and I love working out together and strive to motivate and push each other to be our better selves. We would love an opportunity like this to share with each other.
I would love to win because I have purchased the app before and followed the program and I know it works! I need help because I know I need to loose weight and get healthy but need your suppport and guidance! Thank you.
I would my husband and I to win!
He was a full time personal trainer but now God has called him to full time ministry to be a Discipleship Pastor in NC.
Living a healthy lifestyle is very important to us and our family! I think the transformation app will help us continue that lifestyle.
Thank you and Chris for everything you do in helping us and so many to live healthy ?
I would love to win this prize. As a single mother of an amazing little boy I both need to pinch my pennies and get healthy. I recently lost 50 lbs but still have about 50 to go. The most important thing in life is being healthy for my son setting examples and teaching him the right way to live. I could really use all the help I can get in not only changing my life but changing his life too.
My hubby and I love you guys. In January I was diagnosed with T2 Diabetes and he was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. We are working hard to be there for our 10 year old son. We both have weight to lose and obviously health issues to overcome, but if we win I’m hoping this app could be a catalyst into a better future for us.
I think you and Chris are awesome! I see how you really care about your clients who also become your friends. You both are great at motivating people! I would be over the moon if I won. But I would really want it for my daughter, it’s hard to get her motivated. I know that starting an exercise program would be good for her health. She suffers from depression and other health problems. This is the push she needs! I hope we win and if not we tried!!
I would LOVE to win this!! I am motivated after baby #2 to get healthy! I have just started doing research on different workouts and nutrition, but feel like I still have SO much to learn. There is a lot of info and different opinions out there, so I need the guidance so badly. I tagged my husband as my workout partner because I want us to both be healthier and teach our children to be healthy as they grow. I would love you forever if I was chosen for this!! ????
I live in the middle of nowhere. The closest gym is 30 minutes away. To win this would mean I could have access to you, my personal trainer, in my own home whenever I wanted. It would make my workouts so much more successful. My husband could really benefit from it as well. With working long days, driving to a gym does not happen. This would allow him the guidance that he would need ro get in shape and lose the weight that he has put on after having his shoulder reconstructed last winter. We are both active but as we get older it is getting harder to stay in shape. This would give us more tools to do that. And we would get to see you everyday, what’s better than That? I hope I win!!
I would absolutely be in heaven if I could win the lifetime membership!! I have been paying every three months for a while now but it hasn?t been easy. I?m currently a registered nurse who is out of a job and I have been looking for work for quite some time. Money has been super tight but I want my health to be my number one priority right now. I have been very overweight all my life and I?m 30 now … I want to have kids so bad but I want to improve my health first. The transform app is amazing and it?d be such a great tool to be able to utilize and not have to worry about paying for. That would take a great load off my shoulders. My hubby follows my app too because we don?t have the money for two and he wants to get fit/healthy too. He loves being our chef and cooking up the delicious meals on transform. We?d be so grateful to do this for years to come !
