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.

As a mother of 4, I finally put myself first & Transform has helped me jumpstart this life change after the birth of my fourth and biggest baby to date. Never have I felt the urge to get fit again shortly after.
Although there are many deserving of a free lifetime access.. I know I am also deserving as well. Reaching my late 30s and nearing 40s.. I know it is so important to be more healthier than ever so I can be energetic and physically capable of living life alongside my young energetic children as they grow and also make my life more adventurous as I age. I don?t want to be on the sidelines watching people enjoy their lives from a couch.. I want to be among them.
Good luck to everyone!
My friend Jenn Pilkington and I would be honored to be gifted the Lifetime Access to your App! We are two women listed among the many that have left comments, who struggle between the balance of family, career and then trying to find the time to take care of ourselves. We only dream of setting aside time and money for our own benefit!
We are nurses who work with moms at the maternal child health center. We love on and support women everyday! We give our ALL at work, then come home to our real jobs- to our families! I have 5 children and Jenn is a single mother to 3 children. We both have a set of twins! We run on fumes (and chocolate) most of the time, but we do it!
We struggle with weight loss-
We have the desire and the need!
We could each lose 30-40 pounds!
What we lack is the support, skill, and continued effort!
We are ready to treat ourselves with some kindness!
Help us! We have found ourselves in fad diets and plans in the past. We need a lifestyle change. This would be that for us- steps, recipes, exercises that would be part of our lives!
Thank you and we look forward to changing our ways!
Weeellll, it will be amazing ????? I have watch the tv program, followed your insta, bought the books….but can?t get anything to ?stick?. It?s a life journey I suoppose. I look for the ?easy? way especially in weight management. I want a real, visceral shift in my approach. I?d love to see how having you coaching on a daily basis would work. I dream of a mini ?boot camp? where I could get sort of reprogrammed in a few weeks, build tools then live it. Maybe it?s out there, maybe this is the catalyst. Changing the brain pathway has been the battle. My parents battled weight, I do and I don?t want to pattern this for my kids, but a balanced way of living. ?
I have been on The Transform app since it?s launch. I truly believe in the process. I?ve had a few speed bumps and setbacks but I will persevere. I love this app so much I am constantly ?preaching? lol it to my friends! And I tell them how delicious the meals are. A lifetime membership would be awesome as sometimes I feel that even though this app is part of my life I?m not sure that I can keep up with the monthly payment(Canadian rate) due to some financial constraints. Yet I feel that I would be giving up what I so strongly believe in and in turn bite the bullet as I don?t want to abandon everything that I have put into improving my life! The entire team of Transform is inspiring and true to their values when it comes to helping people. THE best customer service ever and personal communication when needed. Love Chris and Heidi and everyone involved!!!??
Hey!! So, I can?t say I deserve this anymore tha. Anyone else commenting here. We all have the same struggle, and it?s a real one. I was always teasedfor being chubby. I was never big growing up, but I always had a chubby face and seemed to always have love handles. Most of my teasing came from my mom and brothers… that has carried with me into adulthood. I?m very self-conscious and always struggle to get those 10-30lbs off. I?ve had 4 babies, 2 of which are 7 month old twins. I work out and watch what I eat, but not always perfect. I fail a lot. I nurse my babies, which has made it harder to lose the weight, this time around. I just need some help!
This would be so amazing to win. I am a stay at home mom who works part time from home and I?m always struggling to fit my workout in with spending time with my daughter. She?s 3 and a bundle of energy and I just feel like I?m letting her down because I just don?t have the same energy to keep up with her. No, I?m not the heaviest person, but I feel like I have no structure and this program would help me have a plan and keep me on track and help me feel better about myself. I have the hardest time just winging it, I need to follow something. I?ve been so discouraged lately feeling like my goals just keep getting further and further away. You and Chris are awesome people and look like you have it all figured out. I?ve seen the transformations others have had and I know with your help I could start to be happy with myself. Right now I feel like I just focus on the bad parts of me and not what I have accomplished. I need a pick me up and a reason to continue trying to meet goals. Please pick me!
First and foremost I am dedicated to my wife and we constantly try to make each other better in every aspect of life. We love y?all and keep up with all you?ll helpful tips and tricks to continue to better ourselves. Winning this we add to the great relationship we have for each other and would help us hit our goals then set some new ones to hit!!! Y?all are awesome! Keep doing everything you do!
I would love to win because I know I need to take special care of my body for the rest of my life. I have osteoarthritis, nine spurs and a bulging disc in my back. If I don’t keep up my strength, and fuel my body right I will lose my ability to move without pain. Exercise and diet are soooo important for my quality of life.
I really would love to win this!! You and Chris are so motivating and encouraging. My husband and I are on a journey to better our health in hopes to become parents. I want to get healthy, feel better, and lose some weight. I am wanting this for myself, my family, and my “future family”. I want the support, tips, tricks, and community.
Why do I deserve a free lifetime membership is hard to explain given so many people deserve it! However, I would love a free membership and during the past few months it has been made clear to me why I need and love structured exercise routines. My husband has been deployed for months now and I have always found the gym to be my special place to focus on me mentally, physically and emotionally. When I go to the gym with a planned routine it takes one of the many stresses out of my day. I have been so exhausted that getting a great workout in and trying to eat healthy has been a challenge, but I don?t give up! Your lifetime membership would not be taken for granted and would be one of the best tools for me to help live a happier and healthier life, especially during the times I?m flying solo. Whoever receives this lifetime membership will be truly blessed!
