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.

Hi Heidi and Chris,
My story is much like others. I am 46 years old and have both asthma and COPD. I gained over 70 lbs from being on steroids and falling into a severe depression from my diagnosis. To find out you have a disease that has no cure and will get worse over the years is heart wrenching. I have tried every diet, fad, shake there is and nothing helped. I now have a granddaughter that i want to see grow up. Using the app and losing this weight will give me that opportunity. This weight puts so much stress on my lungs that when I moved back to Colorado from California, I had a minor heart attack. Not even 24 hours after I arrived. I have lost 5 lbs so far. I know I need to lose at least 70 more. This will give me more time to live. I am not old enough to feel this old. I really need your help to better my quality of life . Thank you so much
I absolutely adore the transform team.
I have spent the last 3 years in a weight loss funk, part of the reason is due to a hormonal issue. I have followed you for years and decided to really give your app a try…it is the first program that has actually helped me to lose weight! I have gotten so depressed and uncomfortable with my weight that I even have a hard time playing with my son. He is 11 and I know I have a few years left with his as a kid to play but I am so uncomfortable with my weight that I can?t. I spent most of my sons life active with him. I have also found with my weight gain that I am even uncomfortable with having a true relationship with my husband. It breaks my heart! I want to be comfortable and active again. My dear is if I don?t do something about this I will end up morbidly obese like the rest of the women in my family. I think having a lifetime membership would help me to reach all these goals! I feel like having a lifetime membership to such an amazing program with such an amazing team would make it impossible for me to give up on me! It would allow me to live the healthy lifestyle I once had prior to this hormonal weight gain and would show my son that anything is possible!! Please help make this dream come true!! ?
Hi Heidi!! This is such an amazing opportunity you?re giving away. I?d love to win this because I struggle with weight and nutrition every day. I?ve gotten to a point where I?m never comfortable and it?s starting to effect my health. I need the guidance that you and Chris will give through the app. I hope you consider me. Have a blessed day!!
Heidi! I am a huge fan of yours and always follow your Instagram for workout advice and inspo! You have my dream bod after having a litter of kids!!!! ? You are seriously my fitness icon!! I would love this transform app because pretty much anything u and Chris do, seriously rocks!! Hope u pick me ?????
I would love to have access whenever wherever and forever to great workouts,recipes and advice. As a stay at home mom of three girls (ages 5 and 2 1/2 twins) sometimes it hard and tiring to even think of working out. With this help I believe I can totally stay motivated with some new and exciting ideas to get back into shape not only for me but for my family too.
Thank you Heidi and Chris.
HI Mandy! I work for Heidi Powell, and congratulations on winning the lifetime memberships to the app! I’ll also be contacting you both through IG DM and through the email address associated with this comment on Heidi?s blog. Please send me the email address you?ll use for the app AND the email address and name of your friend who will receive the second lifetime membership, and we?ll get you both set up and ready to Transform! [email protected] And congratulations!!!
Heidi! I love, love, love how real you and Chris are! It?s one of the reasons so many people follow and love you…individually and together! I?ve used the Transformapp and recently cancelled my subscription because I had an upcoming foot surgery that will sideline me for several months. I?d love to receive a lifetime subscription, especially when I?m able to put weight on my foot again, because it will help me get back into a regular routine. I?m one week post-op now and am already thinking I?ll need help because I?m fairly active and being non weights-bearing for 6+ weeks is already getting old ? Please consider me for one of the winning entries! I will definitely use the app & will need your recommendations in the future. Thank you for considering.
I would love to have an app that could guide not only workouts but eats for my honey and I. We love to do things together and challenge each other. The app would only help us continue that along with learning different workouts . I love all of the information you share with everyone and I look forward to hopefully using the app. 🙂
Im tired of being the ?fat? friend! I have had this title my whole life. I struggled my whole life but now it has gotten worse. I had a stroke 5 years ago, so now its super hard for me to lose weight. I need your expertise to figure this out. Only true experts will be able to help someone like me. My balance and coordination were affected, so I can not run, jump, or do anything fast. Please consider me. I may not be ideal but I will give you 110%!
Hey there Heidi and Chris. Omg this is an amazing giveaway. Let me start here I have been bullied, called fat, your not good enough by peers that seriously stayed with me for a long time. I made myself sick when I was younger because I am a stress eater and when my parents divorced it was hard. I didn?t feel safe.
But me as a mom to two beautiful girls. I want them to know you don?t have to be a size 2 but you can be active and healthy and still be amazing. That?s why I feel this would benefit me so much because it wouldn?t just be for me but to help my whole family. I?m working out with weights and bands and seeing results. What I?m struggling with is the eating. The fueling of the protein and all that. I know your app would be so helpful.
I have watched your show for a long time and all I could say is I wish that was me and why don?t you just do it. I set my mind in January. I?m down 38. Again thank you so so much for this opportunity. Bless you both as you both r angels.
I have fluctuated all my life with weak and later only if I was diagnosed with PCOS in addition to the diabetes I really struggled with and weight gain. After my first son I gained even more weight reaching 300 pounds. After multiple doctors multiple pills multiple everything trying to lose weight and it gave me 20 more pounds and becoming depressed. At that point and lots of research I decide to have the gastric bypass unfortunately only hearing half into my journey I got pregnant and had my second child which send my progress in the wrong direction it?s taken me three years to try to get it back off. I?ve struggled with trying to keep my weight off and still need to lose a good 20 pounds and to tone up. This is definitely a lifestyle change for the rest of your life and I would love to have two people such as you and Chris to assist me on my journey. I?ve watched Kristin you are a multipl this is definitely a lifestyle change for the rest of your life and I would love to have two people such as you and Chris to assist me on my journey. I?ve watched Chris and you on onTV for years and now through your instagrams and blog! I have no clue how to make a healthy lifestyle change on my own and make a lasting effect and you too are amazing and know you would be that push, encouragement and tell it as it is that I need and cNt wait! ?
