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!

What a life extending enhancing gift this will be for whoever you chose! So many deserving stories – I don?t envy you the choice!! You & Chris have been such an inspiration to me! A few years ago with your previous apps help – I changed my life dropped 30 lbs and was healthier and happier then I can ever remember. And then life through a few punches and instead of using all the lessons you taught me I turned back to all the terrible choices I used to make and packed back on 25 lbs. My friend Jackie saw your newest app first and came running to me asking if this was the app and couple that I?ve been telling her about for years and I instantly downloaded it and have gotten back on track! Week two down 8 and most importantly feeling and living better!!
These choices and decisions are a lifetime commitment not a quick fix or just when life is easy – a lifetime membership will be such a blessing to the winners!
Ty!
I would love to win the membership. Mainly because I could use all the help I can get. Frankly, I don?t spend the extra money on me it goes to the kids needs so it would be great to have something I can enjoy. My 12 year old son has started working out with me on occasion and it would be nice to have something new to do with him.
Awesome giveaway! The most important reason I would love to win this giveaway is for my twin sister. I want us both to lead happy healthy lives and this is just what we need to start our journey! You two are such an inspiration, your hardwork and dedication is something I find truly amazing.
As a mother of 7 children and 10 grandchildren, and an RN to boot, i was so busy taking care of everybody but myself that i completely neglected ME. In the struggle to balance my home and work life and the ensuing unhappiness, i almost lost one of the most important people in my life about 5 years ago. With a blessed second chance after much introspection and behavioral changes, i really learned to practice what i had preached to my staff…take time for yourself, fill your cup, find joy in the journey. I began to take care of myself with exercise and meditation and dug my way out of that dark place! I have been weightlifting for about 3 years, but struggling with motivation/boredom from repeated exercise sets. I got bored easily and waned to learn new movements in exercise…and the ONLY people that have provided that variety are Chris and Heidi!! Ive been with the app about 20 weeks now and every day is still just as fun…i have never been bored with either the food or exercises. I am a fan for life! Your exercises challenge me both mentally and physically and have helped me become a more healthy person…in many ways. I have to thank you for helping me find joy in challenging and changing my body and my life!
Thanks for the giveaway Chris and Heidi! I have already invested in the 1 yr. subscription and am currently doing the personal coaching. While I am seeing movement on the scale, the most important movement has been in my mind and the way I feel about myself! I?m learning that good choices don?t have to be hard and that I?m capable of doing so much. I?m actually enjoying getting up and doing my workouts. Access to the app for the rest of my healthy life would be like icing on protein waffles! And the occasional cake as well!
I would love to win this bc I am working on transforming myself and hope in turn to inspire my mom and aunt to transform also. I lost my aunt their sister she was 38 yrs young type 1 diabetes complications. My mom and her sister are both type 2 and very unhealthy. I want my girls to see a healthy happy mom and have my mom around for awhile and a grandma that can do thinks w them. We are very active and my mom cantdio a lot bc ot jer health. I lost my grandparents when they were only in their 50’s and early 60’s. Inwant yo help my family all around. But I have to be in control and love myself in order to help them
My story, weight loss wise, is like most people’s, the special part of my story will come when I finally reach my goal. I would like to learn how to balance parenthood, eating healthy and working out without driving myself nuts, I can’t seem to figure it out. I sincerely could use your help, and winning that free subscription would help me so much. I sincerely hope you consider me. Thank you.
I?d love to win a lifetime membership. I?ve decided recently I need to live healthier in order to enjoy everything AZ here had to offer confidently. I?m active but get nervous hiking, camping, etc with my friends out here because they are SO in shape. I need to whip my butt in gear to get healthy, be more active (and confident that I won?t hold people down if I go with them) and lose weight to really just be confident in my own skin. My friend showed me this app the other day and I absolutely love it!!
I?m a huge fan! I have strived to be fit for years but have not quite figured it out or stuck with it long enough! Being a busy single mom of 3 boys I know it will do us all good! I need help and support to do that! ?
I would love to win this incredible opportunity. I?m sure I?m with a lot of people when I say I?ve done different diets & exercise routines, they?ve worked for a bit than I?ve fallen off the wagon. And this time I?ve fallen off and feel like I?m being drug along now. I can?t shake the slump I?m in and weigh more than I have EVER weighed. Even when 9 months pregnant.
I would give the other one to my husband. We need to get ourselves back in gear and we need each other to be successful.
