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

I am going through a divorce and it?s almost done. We were married for 17 years and we would have been married 18 on May 9 but we had already gone to mediation. My now ex wouldn?t even talk to me about this divorce, it was all his doing. Midlife crisis I guess. So it?s been draining to say the least. I want to show my kids fitness and health are important no matter what stage of life you are in. With such an emotional trauma, fitness and staying healthy are more important than ever. I need to be there for my kids who are 4 and 10 yrs old. I don?t want to feel tired and run down or depressed all the time because of this divorce. I want to show them that we can do hard things and together we can get through this. So winning this would help keep me healthy physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Hey Heidi!
I am a busy mom of 3, wife to a pastor, and have tried everything out there. Your program is the first thing in 3 years that I have stuck to and that has helped me lose weight! I would love the lifetime membership because I plan to use this for a lifetime. I just cancelled the app and was going to use the cookbook because i can?t afford the app right now.
I have struggled with my weight since I was little. Like 8 yrs old. Obesity runs in my family. I have tried so hard to lose weight and the only thing that works for me is carb cycling. I have an older child and 2 babies and right now their needs come first. Having the transform app would literally be life changing for me. I used it for a while and loved it but right now the cost isn?t in our budget. This would be amazing to me.
Im all the way from South Africa but follow u guys on social media. Im the same age as you Heidi..but boy oh boy would I kill to hav thr body you have…i am nowwhere close even. I am really trying the whole healthy lifestyle as I want to get into my best shape..but with all the info out there one never knows what works and what doesnt. Having an app like this to help me out daily will make the world of a difference. And if people can see that I can make it work it will motivate a lot of people by knowing if I can do it they will also be able to do it. And this way I can pay it forward to someobe else. This is a great giveaway..hoping im one of the lucky ones. Xxx
Hi Chris and Heidi,
There are certainly a million other people that need a lifetime subscription more than I do-but I would be thrilled to win this. While I am not overweight, I have struggled with nutrition my entire life. I have a distorted body image, and have spent the last 2 decades going from diet to diet, not eating properly, not eating at all, and a poor sense of self and what it means to be “healthy.” I am only on week three of this program, but from the bottom of my heart-I want to thank you. I can do this-this makes me feel good, this app has saved me from insanely counting calories, starving myself, binge eating, and has also helped me manage my time, be more prepared for my day, and taught me to embrace my journey. The inspirational videos and life lessons mean so much, and I love the FB community with support from others around the globe. In just three short weeks, I SEE the difference in me-in my skin, my clothes, and my mood. I am more confident, and I feel strong-and nourished. I’m no longer focused on the scale-and that in itself is the biggest gift. Thank you for this program!
I love to win this lifetime app amazing
I would would love to win the lifetime access to your programme as I have followed you for some years now as I’ve been battling to lose weight and to deal with the demons of a previous binging eating disorder. I have often thought about messaging you personally for advice before feel you are both so busy and it wouldn’t achieve much. I realise my opportunity is tiny and this never happens to me so am not expecting to win. However if I did, for once it would be perfect.
The is is such a wonderful giveaway! For me I would love to win this lifetime subscription for my fiance and I! We are looking to buy our first home together ans getting married this October and are both on fitness journey’s trying to better ourselves everyday so that we can be fit and active parents to our children one day and also keep up with our dogs! We’re a physical therapist and pharmacist so we understand the importance of movement and a healthy lifestyle but sometimes get caught up with work and life and fall off track. This would be an opportunity for us to continue to grow together as a couple as we enter I to these next phase of our lives together. I also really need to fit into my wedding dress and even though I’m small I’ve somehow become my heaviest weight since I had a ovarian cystectomy in the fall and couldn’t workout for a couple months so I’m struggling to get back to where I was. Have a wonderful memorial day weekend you guys are wonderful and inspiring!
Hi Heidi and Chris!! I just want to say how much I love you guys and what you do!!! You guys are truly amazing!!! I would love to win a lifetime of working out with your app becaus I think it would try keep me focused and help build the self confidence I have never had. I recently just moved from my home of AZ to Northern California with my beautiful two kids and husband but realized how lonely it is with not one friend or family member around. Going to the ymca has been my only lifesaver but I have never been very good at building muscle or figuring out what and how much weightsto do! I have never had much self confidence and after losing my mom, my best friend almost 2 years ago, I realize I need that self confidence and to keep working out to deal with the anger and sadness I have after I lost my mom. It is hard to start you life over in a new state but even worst when the heart of your family isn?t around anymore to make you laugh and tell you it is going to be all right 🙂 so more than anything I need this kick in the butt to get my workouts to a new level and focus on healing myself this year 🙂 ????
Hi..this is such an amazing deal. I think the app would help me so much. I struggle with weight mostly because of hysterectomy. I do try to eat well and I have read all your books. I’ve been a huge fan for years. I started watching Chris on TLC and was hooked instantly. The reason I think I should win is I am a devoted mother, wife and furbaby mom. I sacrifice for the good of my family and rarely do anything for myself. I had a rough childhood because I was sexually abused by a close family member. This taught me at young age to learn forgiveness and never let the bad things in life define you. Please pick me so I can get over this weight hurdle and have the best trainers in the world help me! ?
