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.

Thank you for even reading this!! I am honestly not sure what to say in why I deserve this… but I can tell you how much I have truly changed in the last year of using your app… weight loss has always been my goal, I have always felt uncomfortable in my body and never fully confident in what God gave me… my relationship with food was a love/hate one, bingeing with stress, over celebrating with food… Always thinking about how I could feed my current emotions…
Through this app I have not only healed that relationship with food, but I feel like I am no longer in fear of social situation with food ?off my plan? cause I know how to plan for it & enjoy it… I have found a new way to deal with stress in running and finding a new love of weights… I feel confident and comfortable in my skin, that i can reach out and help others around me.
I know that this truly is the beginning of my transformation and not sure I will ever be done… Thank you for considering me??
This app would be soooo great for me because I would no longer have excuses! I can cook healthy meals and exercise wherever and whenever I want. I had a baby 2 years ago and I want nothing more then to fit into my old clothes (which my husband is going to make me het rid of if I don’t start wearing them soon?), wear a bikini again at the pool amd feel better! I want to feel better physically and mentally. I want to look in the mirror and be happy with what I see. I don’t want to feel guilty on a cheat day because I’ve worked so hard the rest of the week! I want a booty like Haiti’s and the transform app can make that happen!! Chris and Heidi, I know you can get me there!
Hi Heidi and Chris
I would love to win this.
In 2013 I weighed almost 600lbs, was very sick housebound. I couldn’t even bathe myself.
I then asked GOD to either kill me or give me the strength to lose the weight ( I was 42 years old) luckily I found the strength. I lost 250 lbs. Fast forward to 2014, I am back up t 400 lbs and have Roux n Y surgery. I lost 160 lbs, down to weighing 240 lbs.
In 2016 I got hit by an 18 wheeler and walked away but damaged my legs. Also got into a bad relationship so the weight came back.
Today I weigh 336 lbs, am almost 48 years old and have realized I am a food addict. I can’t stop eating. I need help. I’ve regained 90 lbs of what I lost due to surgery.
Wow! I?d say I can?t beleive you guys are doing this, but I?d be lying since I?m not surprised at all! You two are constantly seeking out ways to give to and help others and you two have been my idols for as long as I can possibly remember! I think it is so amazing how incredibly powerful and giving you two are. I used to watch Extreme Weight Loss religiously from start to finish growing up. Watching you two (especially Chris) no offense Heidi haha I got so incredibly inspired and at the time I weighed 300lbs and was very out of shape. Because of you guys I got off the couch and got my weight down to 180 lbs. I still have a long way until my goal weight and it has always been my dream to meet you guys and thank you for all you?ve done for me, and to get a workout in with you!!! I told my girlfriend Brianna about you two a while back and she has become very inspired as well so her and I both have entered into this giveaway and are trying to become a successful, powerful, and giving fitness couple like you and Chris! Do I beleive we deserve to win this? Probably not more than others no, because I beleive with what I have already gained from you two that I will not stop until I reach my goal and help Brianna reach hers! I?m sure there is someone really struggling out there that needs this more than we and deserves it, but I want to say thank you for your consideration and someday we will all get a workout sess in together I?m counting on it! Thanks Heidi, you and Chris keep up the amazing work!
A lifetime of guided training sounds pretty awesome. I?ve trained since I was 18, not for anything in particular just life. I?ve experienced a few different programmes by a few different trainers and I?ve followed them exactly but they never really get results. I?ve been active all my life It?s just part of who I am. Honestly, I would just love the opportunity to be coached by the both of you. You?re both hardworking but humble, honest and positive people. If you don?t pick me that?s cool because I?ll always train and try to improve. I?m not aiming to reach a goal as such it?s just improving everyday. I?ve played sports since I could walk and still do. I?m dedicated and self disciplined. Always motivated and love to learn. I?m just about to graduate as a paramedic and I?d love the extra support with improving my fitness. Thanks for taking the time to read.
Oh my to win this would mean the world to me and my health. I’ve tried doing it on my own, had a friend try to help, husband tries to encourage, doctor preaches it needs to happen….but it needs to come from my own self…my own strength …my own heart. But it’s harder to do than to say it. After having a child at 36…its been even harder to will myself to do it than when I had my twins at 26! I feel it’s time for me to get my head right and seeing this gives me hope that even if I do not win, I have the will to do it on my own. I love myself and now need to take action and winning would help tremendously. ?
Because I?m chubby! Need to get my diet under control!
Hi Heidi,
I know many people have commented why they deserve the lifetime access, so hopefully you will read this and choose someone so deserving! I wanted to share the story of my husband and I. He donated his kidney to me in March of this year. Despite a healthy lifestyle, my lupus destroyed my kidneys after 15 years. He was my perfect match, and he will forever be my perfect match. We are both doing phenomenally, and we are so grateful. We are back to working out, and training to get our muscles and our endurance back. We would love access to your transform app to help push us even more. Thanks for inspiring everyone. I just love following you and Chris! Much love from Maryland
My husband and I have followed your journey for along time! 4 years ago, we had a beautiful little boy at only 26 weeks. Due to complications, he was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and is completely dependent. As he gets older and bigger, it has only gotten harder to lift and carry him. We started our journey of getting healthy and stronger about a year ago, but it will be a forever goal to stay motivated and strong? for us and him. This would be life changing for me and my husband, but more importantly my son.
Wow! There are like a million comments on here. I am probably not as deserving of the lifetime membership as most or all of these other people, but I would sure love it! I really, really, really need help with my diet. I do pretty good with workouts, most of the time. I am a member at the Cell. If I could get my nutrition figured out for both me and my husband so we can both feel better and have the energy we need to get through the day. Neither of us are overweight, it?s just that we could be in better shape and prevent ourselves from getting worse.
