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!

My name is Kari VanOrman. I am going on 29 years young and i have been watching you two (sorry to say it) but for a while now. I have always loved your passion for helping others. I know that I would be the luckiest girl in the world to have an opportunity like this. I am a mom of two (7 and 3) and I NEED to be able to run around with them and be a good role model. I didn’t have that in the nutrition world until I joined Juice Plus last year.
I was at 270+ last October and I am now at 248. (5’6) I have a ways to go, and help to get to a bada$$ goal would always be appreciated. Regardless of who gets picked thank you for always putting all of your amazing energy into your clients and people’s well being.
I could never get it quite right. If I worked out, I never ate right. Or vice versa. I’m so tired of making excuses. I want to take control and be the person I envision myself to be; no more comparing myself to others. I want to be my perfect example. I want to live my best life. I don’t want to hide anymore. I want to shine.
I am a mom of a two year old son and had never had a problem finding time for myself until I had my son. I love him to death, but I was feeling very depressed and lonely all the time. That’s when I started going back to the gym. I was doing pretty good until I thought that signing myself up to compete in a bikini competition would be a good idea. it made going to the gym a chore and eating food unenjoyable and I was miserable. since realizing all this, however, I still am struggling to find my groove and be inspired and feel like I’m on an emotional eating rollercoaster. I have been struggling for motivation for my workouts and to make healthy decisions and would love the app to inspire me and find my groove again and be a better mom and wife.
I would love to win. I’ve struggled with my weight for years. I feel like I need motivation and guidance to be successful. You both are so amazing!
HEIDI!!!!
Girl I can not even begin to tell you how amazing this would be for my mom and I. I was diagnosed last August with two autoimmune diseases. They are rheumatoid arthritis and hashimotos. I actually had the app and was doing it religiously before my body decided to hate me. Then soon after everything that was happening to me started my mom also got diagnosed with hashimotos. I am doing better than I was even a couple months ago. I?ve changed my diet and life style drastically. The only thing missing is a steady gym routine. Both my mom and I doctors have proscribed the gym to us. I have been trying to convince my mom to work out for so many years and she is finally getting serious! I mean we went out and bought her workout clothes yesterday! It?s so exciting! I just know that your app would help us so much!!
Well thank you for your time and I really hope we get the chance to change our lives with your app.
Thank you

I?ve admired you and Chris since discovering you on Extreme Makeover Weightloss ?dition. You are both not only committed to each other and your family, you are committed to helping people live their best lives. I would love to be apart of what you?re already doing by accessing your transform app for life. My friend who I?d liove to share this with is also a mother of four and homeschools all of her children. This would be extremely helpful to her as well. Thank you for your consideration.
Because I would use it every day forever and ever, amen.
Hey!
I?ve been really focusing on becoming a better version of myself mentally, physically and spiritually since October. I was such an angry wife and mom and it wasn?t fair to my family or myself. I believe that self care is so so important so you can better take care of your loved ones. I love that your app provides everything at our fingertips and you can change your program as you progress.
Hello Heidi,
I just need that push, that 3rd chance. I’ve done this before, but I need help for a life time. Being over wieght all my adult life, with a couple of breaks in between have made me believe that attaining these goals of a healthy life style is possible. I just need to get back to that place. With your help, I believe I can achieve these goals, so I hope and pray you pick me!
Sincerely,
Jayme
I?d love to win because I?m a busy Moma of Four just like you who craves fitness and following my dreams! You?re an Inspiration to me how you fit in all in! ???
