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,
I have followed you and Chris for years! I used to watch your show religiously. Although I may not be 400+ pounds, I am really struggling with my weight after having my first child – who will be 1 year old in a few weeks! I seriously can not believe how fast time flies. Before I had my son, I was diagnosed with Hasimoto?s and gained a lot of weight. I have never been able to get the weight back off and then being pregnant didn?t help. This would help me out tremendously. I work full time, part time, am going back to school all while trying to lose my weight and manage a family! So to say money is tight, is an understatement. The fact that my membership would be paid for would give me no excuse to not be my healthiest and most beautiful me. My husband and I got married very young and he got out of the military unexpectedly. Our little one was also a surprise – but a good one. To know that I will always have the support of you and Chris would mean a lot to me. I still follow both of Chris? first books! I truly enjoy reading your blog. It motivates me daIly to keep pushing no matter how hard it may seem. I know that this will help me to live a healthier lifestyle and be a better role model for my child, just like you are for your kids!
Hi Heidi!! Wow! This is so amazing of you guys! What a blessing this will Be for someone (hopefully me!!) ? I want to invite you to take a look at my progress pics @highleyfam5 on Instagram. I have been in the middle of my transformation since January 1st of this year. My amazing husband budgeted for me to work with a trainer for 4 months! He knew I was at my wits end trying to figure out how to be the best me. I have made some frat progress but unfortunately our finances would not allow me to continue with the trainer. My goal is compete in my first IFBB contest in the fall in the bikini class! ? I have seen you compete and help me see I can do it!! I couldn?t take my husband on social media bc he is battling his own fitness journey. He is 6?1? and has never weighed over 180Lbs! I have him on a ?bulking? diet now and we are in the gym EVERYDAY!! So while I can?t tag him he is my gym partner for LIFE!! ? Tjank you again for the opportunity!! Good luck to everyone!!
I would love to win this for my husband and I! I have had success with the Transform app in the past, but ended my subscription due to budget. In ending it, I have realized that it really did keep me motivated to stay on track, especially since I?ve slid backward in my health transformation since unsubscribing. My husband and I won 1st and 2nd place in a weight loss competition at our church, but since that has ended, our motivation seems to have ended as well!
As I am approaching the BIG 50 in a few years I need much help. I have muffins and I don’t mean for breakfast or a snack. As I have aged fat has stuck where it never has before. I need motivation to help me stick with things, as I tend to quit. I would love to win the app, it would be life changing. Love the Powell Pack.
Hi Heidi! Is it weird I was showing people at work your arms today? Just showing them what I aspire to become. This of course led into who is she, what does she do etc. today gave the most awesome opportunity to talk about the transform app. I can?t thank you enough for what this app and this community has done for me and my daughter. I have struggled with my weight since my first son was born. How can I say I still have baby weight when he is 21. I have been a subscriber since day one and although I have not been perfect this whole time it has taught me so much about eating not starving to lose, making better choices, taking me out of my comfort zone, that working out doesn?t have to suck all the time and most importantly is teaching me accountability. Not perfection but owning it all when things are not so perfect. I love that my daughter is doing the app now too and she is learning this and so much more. We would love to be your choice for a lifetime membership. Having this would give us the confidence knowing that we will always have you and Chris in our corner through all the ups and downs a lifetime can bring.
I should win because I have been dealing with fluctuating weight for the pass 2 years. I am an 18 year old college student who is having a hard time sticking to a “diet”. I have truly been inspired by you and Chris since the tv show Extreme Weight Loss. I have been following you guys and you are my defitintion of a couple who wants to help TRANSFORM people and their lives. I have a few friends who would love to be apart of it with me but they never say anything because they don’t know where to start and they don’t want to get judged because of their weight. If I can win the lifetime access to the Transform App (which I have downloaded…just low on funds to pay for it 🙁 ) I would use it to benefit and change myself along with those who want to change for the betterment of themselves also. So please Heidi and Chris I hope you guys consider my entry for a winner. Im trying to transform and help others transform as well.
I should win because I have watched Chris since he was SO YOUNG on an MTV show, training a young man. Every since I saw his passion, I have truly admired him and watched all of his shows, even bought one of the books. And OF COURSE I admire you too Heidi, you are amazing, one hot momma. I have a B.S. in Health promotion and I am currently studying for my ACE personal trainer cetification. I want to change lives the way that you guys have changed lives! I have a big heart for people and so just want to help them live their best, healthiest lives. Having lifetime access to this app would ensure that I keep myself healthy so I can continue to encourage others and to tell other people how Chris & Heidi have inspired me and continue to inspire me through their app! You guys are amazing and I hope to meet y?all one day! ???
My daughter and I would love to win this! I have struggled all my life with my weight and have yo yoed long enough! I have forever been a huge fan of yours and Chris. I have watched every episode of extreme weight loss and always wished I could be one of the people on the show and work with the two of you amazing trainers with hearts of gold! If you take a chance in us we won’t let you down!

Me and my husband could totally use your help Heidi to get Healthy and lose weight. You and Chris are an amazing couple and inspiration to many.
My main goal for our health and wellness is because not only do we need to accomplish it for ourselves but more importantly we have a daughter with Special needs that we need to be around a LONG Time to support and Love her. She is such a Blessing and Joy in our lives and she deserves healthy parents.
Love the program and as a busy mom of two kiddos I love going to the gym and not wasting any time trying to figure out what to do! Also big fan right here ?????
