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!

Because I want to move in with you guys pretty much every single time either of you post on social media (and you know that’s a lot), but since that is not an option (or is it?) this is the next best thing!!!!
Heidi , you & Chris are LITERALLY my inspiration. I have watched you guys since it started on ?Extreme Weight loss edition? & have all of Chris books? . You guys ARE the reason I want to help others love themselves , make a better lifestyle for themselves & pick life over obesity & death!!!! I will be a certified personal trainer one day with my BFF rolando. & YOU guys are the ultimate #GOALS. I want this transformation app opportunity , bc I WILL change the lives of others , not for the money , not for the fame , bc I TRULY know this is my calling !!!! I feel so satisfied and truly happiness within my heart knowing I can help someone and ?coach? persay to live a better life !!!! Lots of persona trainers only do it for the money and don?t actually care !!!! I am 100% IN IT!!!!! And one of my dream goals is to workout with you guys , talk to you guys & maybe even one day work side by side! Thank you two for being the change I needed for me to become that much better as a person, mentally & physically !!!! Much love xx!!!
Where to begin … I don?t really think I deserve the lifetime access to your amazing Transformation app more than anyone else but I am certain I want it from Lor the same or similar reasons so many others have listed.
You and Chris are already inspirational & always keep me motivated but we?ve concentrated on stripping down our budget to pay down debt so I don?t see/hear/read you guys as much these days with less WiFi and no cable. We also canceled our gym membership so new exercises are something I strive for as I continue my ?battle of the bulge?.
I know so many who are working towards the same goals with similar limited budgets. I wish everyone the best and am thankful to the Powell?s for their consistent matter-of-fact motivation

I love following you and Chris! I admire your authenticity and love the transform app that you guys have created for us!! Thank you thank you thank you for all that you give back! It?s both inspiring and motivating!
Because I need this, I really do. I am just Like any other woman, wife, mom, I have nothing to say why I am special and why out of all of this people I should win this.
I need this to Stay sane in this crazy world. I need this to be healthiest and the best version of myself so my daughter can have propel role model in me. I need this for delicious Recipes that will assure my husband that healthy meals can also be yummy. I need this because I have no money to pay subscription.
Winning this would give me the proper education I need regarding nutrition and what recipes will work best for me. I also love that you can change up the workouts which is not always easy to do on your own. I have 2 children (4 and 1) and my 4 year old was diagnosed with Autism last year, so there are a lot of appointments to get him to after work during the week which makes it hard to find the time to make a proper dinner and do a workout since by the time we get home, it’s bath time and then bed time for the kids. I usually fall asleep laying with my 4 year old getting him to bed by 9:30! I have watched you and Chris for years and absolutely LOVE the motivation you provide to help everyone get to their goal! And I would love to be one of those people you help.
I?m a 45 year old mom of 5. Food has always been my love language. Baking cookies for my kids means I love them right? This is very ingrained in me. Lately my weight has caused many health issues and I?m feeling like the way I?ve eaten my whole life is now becoming the thing that is making me unhealthy. I want to feel energy, I want to be here to dance in the kitchen with my grandkids. I?ve never actually tried when it comes to my own health and well being. It?s time!
Hello, I am 40 years old and the heaviest I have been in my whole life. I would love to win this cause we are a single income family. I have sacrificed for my husband my daughter and also my mom and dad. I would love to put me first one time lol. But just can?t afford too. With this win I could actually put me first. Take the time for me. Thank you Heidi and Chris for everything y?all do. God bless y?all
I would love to be chosen for the giveaway of a lifetime. I have struggled with weight issues my entire life. I am quickly approaching my 50th birthday (I will be 50 in November of 2019). I have been working on reaching my goal weight before that time. I have been going to the gym, and trying to eat healthy, but I often feel the need for a little help/guidance. I have followed you and Chris for quite a while, and love all that you bring to the table.
This would be awesome!!
Would lov a coach and to learn more
