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.

I’m only 20 and I would love to have some accountability through out my 20s especially as I’m more prone to sacrifice my health for school or my career.
I have been overweight since having my youngest child, which is also when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that makes weight loss especially challenging. It’s been a rough time, but I want to get healthy for myself so my body feels better, but also so I can be around for a long time for my kids. I’d love to win this app! I do workout, but I’m not losing the weight. I think this tool in my pocket would be really helpful.
Hi Heidi!
It would be absolutely AMAZING to win the lifetime access. I?ve watched all your episodes on tv (and cried quite a bit)! You two are the most inspiring power-house couple out there! The amount of love and empathy you have two gave for people in their struggle is unlike anything most people are willing to give.
I know for myself I?ve battled with weight issues all my life. Up and down, feeling like I was never good enough, could never find the motivation to stick with anything longer than a couple months. You guys motivate me and now motivate my husband! We hope to some day be a power-house couple just like you!
I would love to win the transform app because you and Chris make me feel like anyone can do it. You guys don?t just talk about unrealistic and unapproachable fitness for those with no kids who can cook whatever they want (without having to worry about feeding everyone else) who have all the time in the world. You guys know life gets messy sometimes. You realized the majority of us are working, taking kids to sports, fixing meals, cleaning house, and trying to stay healthy at the same time. I think it?s this approach that makes you guys so relatable. So I would love to win the transform app, because we all need some help as we learn this lifestyle !
I would love to win this! Throughout high school and college, I was active and playing sports. Then my then-boyfriend-now-husband joined the Marine Corps and I started graduate school. I put work and school first instead of my health and gained more and more weight. Then I finally hit my heaviest while my husband was deployed. We now have two beautiful daughters, and the oldest will be 3 in August. I want my girls to grow up with a strong mom, a love for activity and a healthy relationship with food. I would love to be able to take family photos and not try to hide behind someone. I also want to be healthy for my husband, since diabetes and heart conditions run in my family. I want to be able to be one of those married couples who grow old together. Thank y?all for the opportunity!
I am a 38 year old, full time mom of fourbeaitiful girls, until this past year, I homeschooled all four, now just my two youngest, business owner, and someone who has struggled with my weight since I was a teen. I know there are many stories you will be sifting through. The decision will not be easy. For me, more than anything, I just want to communicate my desire to work, glean, and learn to grow within my abilities. I am capable, but need accountability. I have asked people I love and trust, and could never get the consistency. I do work out, I do consistently use a program, but I need people who can hold the accountability, encourage me, when I am discouraged, correct me, and celebrate with me, when I reach any of the goals. I have consistently weighed the same 40 pounds over goal weight, for almost two years. I need help finding the change and correcting the behaviors I have that are not allowing me to be the best I can be. I am the biggest demonstration my girls have, and I have failed, this far. I don?t know how to change without losing what I have learned and done. Thank you, for your time. Blessings, and take care.
I would like to win this for my daughter. She’s been working really hard to lose weight and be healthy. She’s been using the Transform app so why not try to win a lifetime subscription for her. It would be a dream come true for both of us.
My husband and I would absolutely love to win this!! We both have had health issues over the past few years that caused us to gain weight. Due to this reason, and having 4 amazing children, we have had to catch up on all of our Bill’s and it’s just been a lousy 4-5 years. We’re both very unhappy with how we feel and just how our of shape we are and would love the opportunity for you and Chris to get us back on track again!!
Hello Heidi,
I?m a mum of 2 and married
But I haven?t been able to lose weight, your programme would be fabulous as I admire the work you do with people I order to help people in need of weightloss and muscle training
Me and my hubby would love a lifetime membership in order to get to our goals
Much love from the UK
Becca
Hi Heidi,
I was in your and Chris DietBet and used the motivation you both handed us daily. I?m always felt really motivat d by both of you and it would be such a blessing to win this for both myself and another person. I have done Spartan Races before but have lost my endurance and need to find it again.
