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 friend Carly and I have started our journey together back in 2014 and we are still going strong together. I have lost 75lbs and she lost abput 65lbs but has gained it back but has started again and is doing amazing. We have been best friends for over 20 years and it makes me so happy we have decided to change our lifestyle together. I think this would give us the extra push that we need.
Dear Heidi and Chris, I have been an excellent caregiver for over 21 years! However, when it came to myself, I was not so excellent! What I would do for others, I did not always do for myself! Some times I’d do better than others, but overall I was unable to put myself first! Hence why when I joined your amazing Transform App my personal quote is, “It’s time to put myself first!” Now I’ve struggled with food and sugar my whole life! I always went from zero to 100 and somehow, for the first time in my life, I am able to follow your awesome app and eat balanced! I love that I get a reward day! Something I’ve never par taken before, hence the all or nothing attitude of my past. I was so happy on reward day to go out and have an ice cream cone with my kids in the day time without hiding and feeling horrible for eating sugar. Amazingly enough I didn’t feel like a crazed sugar addict after, I felt like a balanced person. Oh, and the kids are exercising with us! They even make kid friendly shakes! I’m a bit teary eyed now, but you are transforming our whole family! Thanks for working so hard for all of us! Funny thing about your Lifetime Access, is that I was just saying to my husband the other day that I feel like this is a plan I could follow for the rest of my life! Well Peace and Love to you and your family!
Why I feel I should win this is a tricky question and one I feel it difficult to answer. There are a thousand people on here who have a story on why they should win or want to win mine ismuch like many. I have followed you guys going back to the beginning of your TV show and feel in love with not only your training style but you both as people and your honesty to show not only the good but the not so good moments. My wife and I would love to have this as a way to take our fitness and nutrition to the next stage and though we are not able to afford the service now it is something we are working towards. Winning this would help us gain something we have not been able to. It would be used and utilized to its full extent.thanks for taking the time to read this. Wishing you and your family nothing but the best!
Well I absolutely adore you! I would love a lifetime membership. I could come up with a bunch of reasons but after reading all the posts I know others could use it more than me. What I can do, is at least support all the other members as much as I can. That’s why I love the app its given me the confidence to not only change myself but also the confidence to know I can help others succeed. I was going to buy it for myself but you offered it right after I had helped someone begin their own transformation, I just did a random act of kindness and paid for someone’s fitness classes when i found out they couldn’t afford them anymore. 🙂 I’m happy to be an active member of the transformation community at least. We can do it! We all have taken the first step and now we can do it together!
Pick me! I will use the app and make the most of it.
I would love ? to win this giveaway. My daughter just had her first child so my first grandson ? we have bee working out together and following nutrition plans but would love love the extra help and guidance ? We are trying to be the best version of ourselves because that little man has brought so much joy and awareness on what really matters in life.! Being a healthy and fit Grandma is my goal … I?m only 44 so my daughter actually calls me GLAMA ? I have been watching you and Chris since your first TV show came out ! Your both amazing and inspiring and real people ? Thanks for sharing your lives with the world.
Heidi and Chris, thank you so much for being you! I honestly don?t know where and how I would be without you, and all the work and effort you give out to help others. With the lifetime membership I could continue to become the best person I can be for the rest of my life; healthy, fit, and happy! I?m always helping people and everyone I know seems to want to join in the health/fit fun. So I am extremely glad that not only am a learning to be healthy and fit but also can spread the love to others. Not to mention my hubby and my 3 kidos. I am just so excited about what the future holds. Love you guys and the transform app! 😀
I only have 30 seconds! My wife Holly and I have 4 children! 3 of them are 4 month old infant triplet boys! Gotta go!
Hi Heidi!
I would LOVE to earn the lifetime TRANSFORM app access because my current plan of eating junk and NOT moving very much isn’t working!! The app will keep me motivated and inspired to be the best version of myself. I am a busy mom of two, work as a Professional School Counselor, and am married to a night-shift working Law Enforecement Officer! Our busy schedule, like so many others, doesn’t always allow for the healthiest food choices. Also, spending all day working with students leaves me exhausted and I often end of falling asleep on the couch after my kiddos go to bed and NOT working out!
I really want to win this lifetime membership
1- i love you guys a lot and you keep me motivate in my transformation
2 i am already a user and i know how wonderful is this app
3 i really want to get this because that will help me reach my fitness goal on the best possible way
