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.

Dear Heidi,
I feel that I could benefit from winning this for a lot of reasons. I am 25 years old an currently weigh 240 lbs, with my starting and highest weight being 250 lbs. I do my best to work out and eat clean and barely see results. I feel I am doing something wrong. Having access to the transform app would allow me to make better meals and have better work outs. I fear that if I don’t lose weight that I will die within the next 5 years. I have many goals an aspirations that I want to achieve before I die, and now is the time to make the change. I have a passion for working with children and adults who have learning disabilities. My favorite is to work with children who have autism. Special Education has always held a special place in my heart. However, the bigger I get, the harder it is to move around with these kiddos. I can’t crawl around on the floor as fast I would like and it’s extremely hard to get up once I am down. I get winded just trying to stand up. I want to be able to work with these people and kids and give them all that I have without limitations. I HAVE to lose weight. I have been lucky to believe that I am a beautiful person regardless of my weight. I have the love for myself needed to lose the weight because I want to be a better person for me. I just need your help!
Please choose me for the Giveaway of a Lifetime! Recently, someone questioned how long I had been working out, thinking I had just recently started working out. After thinking about it and correcting that person, I have been on this fit journey for 10+ years, and I don?t intend to stop my workout regimen. Don?t get me wrong, I?ve had set backs (a sprained ankle will get you every time), but I?ve consistently worked out at least 3 days a week for the past ten years. Some weeks I even get in 4-5 workouts a week. Every day is not a walk in the park. There are days I just don?t want to workout, and then there are other days that I can?t wait to workout. And, there are some days that I workout to blow off steam. It?s such a great stress relief for me… exercise. I am committed to being healthy and exercising. As I approached 30, about ten years ago, I knew I had to get my weight in check to be fit. Now, as I approach 40, I know I must continue to workout in order to live my best life. As someone committed to exercising, being fit and living as healthy as possible, I appreciate your consideration for this lifetime membership.
I can?t believe that I am writing this , but I think I deserve it because I matter. I need ?ME? back. I am a single mom who never does anything for myself. My two teenage boys, three rescue dogs and two jobs basically run my life. I am generally too tired or too sick to take time for me, even if I have a few minutes. I need some type of structure to help me get back on track and change my lifestyle. I need to get rid of this second person that I have been carrying on my back for the past 5 or 6 years and I need that discipline back in my life. I need to eat healthier, work out and just have that positive mind set to be a happier person. This would be life changing for me. It would also set a good path and good example for my sons. I?m sure there are lots of people out there who could benefit from this, but for once in my life I would like to put ?me? first. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! Heidi and Chris, you are truly amazing people. You probably have no idea of the impact that you have on many of us each day just by sharing your life, your workouts and your family with us. You both are just so positive and are the real deal. You are honest with us and really have made nutrition and exercise inclusive for the entire family. Thank you- love you all! ????
To be awarded the prize of lifetime access to what appears to be the best overall health app in existence would be priceless! I am one of those people who does not have integrity with herself. I’ve never considered myself worthy of self-love. I’ve been working very hard in the last few years and have realized that I am, in fact, worthy of the life I have longed for for DECADES! Time and time again, I do whatever it takes to make other people happy only to make myself miserable. At our core, we all want to be loved. You can’t pour from an empty cup! Loving yourself has to be the foundation of solid mental well-being and healthy relationships with yourself and others.
Hey guys! I would love this lifetime membership so much! I am going to live my life this way for the rest of forever??. I have been a walking billboard for this program and community since the app launched and even more so since I joined Dox??! For the first time in my life I am not starving myself, over exercising, OR beating myself up for the way my body is. For the first time in my life I deeply love myself and value every inch of me. I love me!!? This community, the app and the curriculum has just clicked for me. I know it?s gonna take me longer then a year for my body to let go of the weight, and that?s okay. I know what I need to do. If I have a lifetime membership, I promise to do all I can to help anyone who is like I was. There were so many times I wished to just know someone who understands and it?s been here, with you guys that I?ve found that. I?m excited for forever with you guys! I?m forever grateful for this program! ? ??????
It?s really simple for me. Growing up work was emphasized more than exercise or taking care of myself. I am now 48 and struggle daily with that voice in my head that tells me not to put myself first. I made a conscious decision to teach my children differently. My daughter at 16 is an elite hockey player along with my son. They are active, smart and competitive and kind. I have done my job! Having access to the app for lifetime will help me to continue my journey and i tagged my daughter because health is a lifetime commitment and I would love to have this for my family. Thank you for the opportunity and wish you a lovely day. ???
Please consider me for a lifetime membership. , I?ve been on a journey to a healthy lifestyle since I was just a teen. Tried every diet and fad for 20 years and still struggle on making this transition,. my ?normal? weight fluctuates 20 to 30 lbs which my Dr has armed me is very unhealthy. Your program would provide me a platform to ?transform? my life and help me create a healthier more fit life. I have the gumption to make it work just need the tools to make it happen.
Hi from sunny South Africa ?? This win would be a game changer in maintaining a fit, healthy life. I live in a very rural area and access to healthy information and fitness is available only through having access to resources like your app. I have a ?home gym? with improv weights, etc (which I?m very proud of). Having access to your amazing app would mean consistent motivation, personal training and healthful eating all at my fingertips – a dream come true!
Hi! This is just awesome what you guys do!! Gosh, why I would benefit from the app… well like so many others you guys have it down to a science. I have been battling back from a knee injury; I lost 100 lbs in 2016 and have struggled the last few months in trying to figure out how to balance it all without running (or decreasing my running). So to have you guys coach me via the app & all the nutritional information would be life changing. Because what I have learned thus far is that nutrition is 80% of weight loss & a healthy lifestyle. Finding balance is a daily battle. I want to be healthy and happy first and foremost for me. I also want to be a mentor, coach, and role model for my kids, my family & friends. To be able to continue to learn and grow, which I feel the app will help me do, is a game changer. XOXO Sheena
I would love to win this to be the best example for my daughter that I can be. When my husband was diagnosed with an aggressive form of melanoma we started to take his health very seriously and I kind of just put myself on the back burner and stress ate and stopped working out. We have been more than fortunate so far that he is doing great. Now I need to get me on track!!
