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.

Heidi and Chris I would love to win the lifetime access to the transform app because it has helped me a lot! I started a 3 month trial to see if I would like it and boy do I love it. It?s simple and I never feel like I am deprived of anything! The workouts are great and I constantly feel encouraged by your videos! I feel like you guys are in my living room with me. You both are an inspiration and I would love to have a lifetime commitment w you! Also I would love for my mom to be my plus one! 😀
You two are amazing! I should win this givea way because I want to be the best first time grandma and be on the health track! Yes! I’m 41 years old with 5 Beautiful children and an angel baby who I know is watching me. I carried him 9 months and he was a stillborn. Depression kicked in off and on, I had to stay strong because I was a mom to a1yo.at the time. Then came the other 4! Last baby was a year and a half when we lost our home to an arson fire. So distraught, but I had to stay strong because my babes needed their mom! Daddy is amazing and was laid off 2yrs after our fire and fell into depression. I had to stay strong, because I am mom. I picked up 3 jobs and did the mom thing too. I’ve even done a couple fitness boot camps for my sanity. And joined a local heart walk. 2 yrs later daddy finally got a new Career/job and things have been busy and looking up. I decided to go to real estate school and on the way to my exam I was in a car crash that I’m not sure how I survived. (Never finished) I know these trials make us stronger some how. My biggest challenge now is the pain when I excersize, the gym just doesn’t suit me any more. I need to do what I can from home. I’m no one extraordinary, I am a mom, a wife (22 yrs.), and a soon to be grandma!
I love being a mom so, I can only imagine what being a grandma will be like!
I want to win this giveaway! (It would be the first, lol.? )
You two just put a smile on my face when I see you. ? -One AZ gal right here!
I just turned 40 and I feel old LOL. I am also a type 1 diabetic and would love to be as healthy as possible for as long as my body will let me! I have 4 kids who are my complete world and I want to be healthy for them and myself! I also want to be a great example of someone who takes care of the one and only my body we have be given in this lifetime.
Heidi! I?m currently pregnant with my 3rd baby! Such a blessing, but pregnancy has left a high toll on my body! I?m starting this pregnancy up 10 pounds from where I?d like to be, but in SUCH a better place fitness wise than I was with my two first pregnancies. I started my fitness journey after my son was born 2 years ago, and have LOVED following you & Chris. It?s encouraging to me that you have little kids and can still incorporate health & fitness in daily! I can?t even tell you what this lifetime membership would mean to me for my goal of staying healthy for my family! I really want to set a good example to them from the start. And as for the second membership, I?d love to give it to my neighbor who just had her 3rd baby as well. She?s been such awesome support to me as far as fitness and exercise go, I?d love to pay it forward and say thank you with a membership!
Howdy, Chris and Heidi! My name is Katie. With so many entries, I know this is a long shot, but I’ve never shied away from seemingly impossible things. I am currently a graduate student in Charleston, WV, studying to be a physician assistant. I turned 25 in March. I have always struggled with weight. Health was never a huge priority for my family growing up so all of my family except for my sister is overweight. My dad has high blood pressure and diabetes, and my mom has high blood pressure. I picked up a lot of bad habits as a kid and didn’t realize until I was older how these bad habits were affecting me into adulthood. I knew, as an aspiring health professional, I couldn’t go on telling my patients to eat and live healthily if I wasn’t doing the same. I want my health journey to be an inspiration for my patients and for other members of my family, but ultimately, I want to be healthy for me. I want to be able to look in the mirror and have confidence in, not only who I am on the inside, but on the outside too. I have tried multiple weight loss methods… Weight Watchers, carb counting, Dukan diet… I would lose some and then gain right back and then some. With the help of your app, I have lost 30 pounds over the last few months and have never felt better. I still have a long way to go to my weight loss goal and your app has allowed me to be successful. As a graduate student, and some-day-PA, my schedule is and will be busy. Your app makes it easy to prepare for the challenging, long weeks of school and work. I would love to be considered for a life long membership. Thank you!
Hi Heidi and Chris- 16 years ago I was diagnosed with AML (Leukemia) after 36 bags of chemo and a stem cell transplant I am still here!!! I’ve always been chunky and 6 years ago worked with a trainer lost 50 pounds. I ate asparagus and protein for 12 weeks, and I somehow managed to keep the weight off for 5 years. I was recently diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis and well, fell off the wagon and gained the weight back. I can’t seem to get back on and my life depends on it!!!! I have high BP, cholesterol, and sugar:(
What an amazing opportunity to train with you both, learn how to make this a healthy lifestyle that will last more than 5 years. I promise to work hard and make you both proud. Tracy N.
My husband and I are already fans of the Transform App. It has been a game changer for us and would ADORE a lifetime membership ourselves. It has been a lifestyle that is easy to stick with. I never feel wanting.
hello,
I came across your Instagram page in my feed and thought it was fate! I have tried every diet out there and have always got to where I needed to be but then gained it all back. I want to maintain a healthy life style and feel good each day. I am 45 now and it?s hard to keep this weight off. Help! I also tagged my daughter who just had my beautiful grandson and thought we could do this together! ??
Prayers in ??
I am getting married in less then 3 weeks and would love to kick start my marriage with a healthier life style!
My husband and I have been married almost 7 years. You and Chris have been a part of our entire journey. We have been so encouraged by your life that you share with the world! From parenting to marriage to mind, body and soul. My husbands loves the accountability of your Transform App and really would use it forever!!! It helps me to stay on track and be supportive of his goals and it also helps me have to confidence in doing my own workouts and feeling comfortable in the gym. Thanks for all you do!
