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 have been watching u & Chris for awhile now! Y?all are such an inspiration! I admire y?all. I would LOVE to be the one to WIN the lifetime app! I think I should be the winner because I honestly can?t afford it, and also because I have a hard time to get myself motivated for the last couple years. I was doing really well in 2015, and then I just let myself go unfortunately! I will find someone that would love the app as well! Thank you for your inspiration Chris & Heidi.
I would love to win the life time membership!! Im young and look for the best way to have a healthy lifestyle. I really believe in proper eating and it would becnice to have support and to follow an app to keep me on track to a healthier and fit lifestyle.
Hello,
I?d love to have the chance to enter your contest! My boyfriend has lost over 130 pounds and I have lost 70. We just recently started getting back into both weightloss and weightlifting to completely change our lifestyles forever! We workout twice a day and meal prep every meal, but It?d be so helpful to learn new workouts and recipe ideas from the best of the best! Hopefully you will pick both Branden and I we?d be every excited! Thank you!!?
Hi!!! I probably don?t deserve anything free from anyone but I would adore/be so thankful to have your app because I have been following Heidi on her fb for some time now and I have noticed your program is successful but it also embraces family time. Your program appears to allow involved moms to have time with their kids and continue their health quest. So ideal for me because I don?t have the time for a gym membership and I don?t have people to watch my kids as I work out but I have always been health conscientious and would adore the ability to get fit again. Before kids I was in fantastic shape but now I have had two beautiful kids and I?m not the same!??
I deserve to win this for my and my daughter because we both started a journey to get healthy and strong. It has been a hard struggle but so far we are both doing good on our journey my only problem is I do ok for a while and then go right back to my old ways so I need to stay focused and on the path to making this a life long reality.
I am 56 years old and have tried so many things to loose weight and get healthy. I struggle with very high triglycerides and Cholesterol. Now I am borderline diabetic. I get discouraged due to trying to tackle this on my own. I have found a sweet young lady who is so excited about your app I signed up for a couple days ago. We were up until 3am this morning choosing food, and scoping out all the cool things and we have decided to be a team. This would be so amazing if we had this lifetime app from you and Chris. Having you two along with us would be icing on the cake. Allison happens to be my sons girlfriend and she is the most amazing young lady ever. If this comes up as Jack Rabbit Metal Works i’m sorry I don’t know how to switch my Instagram back to my personal one Jean Humes.
Hi Heidi! You probably notice my Instagram handle @Whitechinadoll. I’ve been an avid fan of you and Chris since the beginning of EWL show! Your infectious smile, personality and foremost your passion in fitness inspire me so so much that i decided to follow my heart and get my PT certification. I am a new mom to now-2yr old fiesty twin girls and i need this app to finally achieve my full potential! Love you and your family!!!

Hi Heidi, i dont think i deserve it more than anybody else, we all deserve such an amazing program with a healthy life. But this will be a great help for me, i have been using it for the past 2 months and i am down 8 pounds, i still need to loose 20 more, i would love to have it for a lifetime i wont stop using it after i reach my weighloss goal, i will stick with it for ever because its a change i want in my life, to have this healthy and active life that you and Chris have and pass it on to my 2 daughters. June is my last month, and due to some debts and wanting to save to buy a house i wasnt going to be able to keep paying it, i know its not an expensive program, but just like weighloss when you compromise to do something you do it, and right now i had to compromise in not spending if i want to be debt free and buy a house. Winning this would make me the most happy. Thank you!
Wow!! This old lady would love to win your APP for a lifetime!! I try to stay motivated by doing classes with friends and randomly trying the crazy things you demonstrate for us all.
I think having the APP would be great for those lazy days when I sit & stare at my phone and instead of scrolling through nothing I can turn to the APP instead. No excuses for me if I had the APP with me all the time.
Who doesn?t deserve to win this amazing opportunity. I tried, but finances always seem to hinder my ability to get support to get my weight loss goals. I can do it on my own- it?s harder and I often fail. I?m a yo-yo. I lose it- but it always comes back. I?m a CG veteran, Mom to 4 amazing kids and 4 fur babies. I have an amazing husband who has supported me through every crazy diet fad I have tried. I don?t feel like I?m more deserving than any of these amazing other stories, but I?d like a shot to have lifetime support and accountability.
