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!

This reward would be a perfect birthday gift for me!My birthday is around the corner and as working mom of two boys (older special needs) in my 40s, I feel like I am not doing enough for myself!This would be like having lifetime ?partner in crime? but in a best possible way, someone who would cheer me up,boost my confidence and pat me on the shoulder when no one else is doing it!I am on the other side of the globe and despite the fact that there are some life-struggling priorities here, I have been amazed and thrilled with all the good things that two of you do in changing lives of people who need that change.I need that change two.Love you guys??
I am not sure I am anymore deserving than everyone else wanting to get healthier, but I can assure you if I was chosen I would give it 100 percent. I wouldn?t waste the once in a lifetime opportunity to change my life for the better. I have been known to put myself on the back burner to care for others but I am ready to put me first for the first time in my life. So I would love this opportunity to go on my journey to a better and healthier me.
I believe everyone deserves the lifetime membership BUT I feel I would be one of the best representatives always giving 200% and following instructions to the T! I have been a member of The Smartgym since December doing their XGT classes 4-5 times a week and while I have made some progress I feel like I could be making more. I have tried several different options when it comes to my weight loss journey and to date nothing has been completely successful for me. I am not getting any younger and have 2 daughters and 4 grandkids that I want to be around to see them grow and learn. I welcome the opportunity and hope you welcome the challenge of transforming me into a lean grandma 🙂 Plus, bonus, we are close in location proximity
I?m pregnant with my second girl and due any day now. I love to exercise but I really struggle with knowing what foods to eat and how much of it to eat. I?ve tried other programs and felt like I was so hungry all the time. I really just want to live a healthy lifestyle and have a good relationship with food so I can pass that down to my girls so they don?t have the same struggles I have had growing up.
Wow! It’s going to be a long day to sift through all the comments! Hope y’all have your bangs!
I guess this is where i tell you why i would love to be considered. Well, I’ve been struggling with my weight my whole life, and for the next 5 weeks it’s only going to be worse since i can’t work out at all, and since i can’t shop or meal prep due to surgery and no one willing to help, it’s going to take me a hot minute to be able to lose the weight… I guess I’m distracted. I have 3 kids of my own, 2 are special needs on the high functioning end, plus my niece living with us, so 4 kids total, along with my MIL who is recovering from breast cancer (YEY!!!) and my FIL. So there are 8 of us, and money is cramped. I just finished school for medical assistant so i will be getting a job as soon as I’m able to work again, but it’s still going to be tight.
Aside from massive amounts of stress I’m pretty blessed. I want to lose this weight in a healthy manner. Everyone on my dad’s side of the family have gotten surgery to lose weight. I don’t want to have surgery, i want to show them, and my niece who is obsessed with the latest fad diets, that it can be done in a healthy way. Winning this would relieve a lot of stress, and with less stress i could focus more on the things that matter most: family, health, church, and family. Yes, family is on there twice… They matter the most, and with as much energy as my kids have, they require healthy living most of all.
Lifetime access would be AMAZING!!! I love watching you and Chris change the lives of sooo many people! I just starting going to the gym again and I would love to use your app to guide me in my journey! I bought your book about 3 years ago and lost 20 pounds. I can?t imagine what I could do with the app!! Thank you for all you guys do!!
I adore you and Chris! I love that y’all not only focus on your health, but share your knowledge with the world.
I would love to win this for several reasons, but mostly because I look up to your approach to health and fitness. I love that you teach women to fuel their bodies and work hard too.
I will be 35 soon and staying in shape and eating healthy seems to require more and more work with each passing year. I would love to have a set plan in place for the next few years. I truly admire your commitment to your health while still managing your home life and kiddos. ?
Thank you for this amazing giveaway! I would love to win this for my husband and myself. I have recently lost 124lbs and really need to get toned up and put on some muscle! My husband owns his own business and works hours that prevent him from getting to the gym. This app would be perfect because he can do it at home on his own time and I can prepare meals for us to help him get healthier.
I am a full-time mother of three, wife, and a full-time nurse practitioner. I take care of others all day every day. My ?me time? is spent in the gym taking care of myself instead of everyone else. I have been using the Transform app since March, and love it. I strive for my life to be a picture of health so that i can encourage others, encourage my patients, and teach them all about healthy lifestyles, exercise, and good nutrition. I have been faithfully lifting weights and working out in a gym for about three years. Your app has truly transformed my life, my workouts, and my body. I have never been more proud to see what my mind/body can do! I lift heavy, push myself, and see real results. I already recommend your app to friends, colleagues, and patients on a regular basis. Pick me! Pick me! Because you?re stuck with me either way, I?m hooked.
I think I should win because it would be the most amazing thing ever for me! If I had the money to buy it I would cause I think it?s the most amazing thing ever! Something for everyone for sure! But mostly because I need this! I need to stop worrying about what to cut where to make sure I can properly do my fitness journey. I need to be able to have access when I need it cause sometimes I can work out early and sometimes I getting it in at 11 pm cause that?s when I can make it happen. I just know I need this and I would be totally blessed to win. I really hope you pick me
