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.

I?ve fallen in love with the transform app!! It?s completely changes the way I look at health, nutrition and exercise.
I have a history of disordered eating and obsessive exercising, but since I?ve started this app (and completed my first 12 weeks!) the change in mindset has been drastic. I?ll keep on using the app if I win (but of course would love it for free for life) or not just because it?s given me freedom from my past anxieties surrounding food an my body image. You and Chris are inspirational and your message is truly wonderful! Sending many blessings to you and your family…keep doing what your doing ??
I would LOVE to be connected to you and Chris at the hip until I?m old and grey and wrinkled. Because it?ll take several years to get that way when you?re taking care of your health. I have followed you both from way back. I have watched you both blossom into this amazing couple who is open and honest and share your lives with others. I have participated in 2 DietBets and loved the interaction. Most of all what I have learned is you have to eat for your particular goal (of course working out too!) but I mean if you want muscles you have to eat, you can?t diet all the time. So I?ve been watching and learning. Thank you!
I am entering for my husband who has been working so hard on his journey and I am so proud of him.
Hi Chris and Heidi!
I love watching you guys work together on extreme weight loss. I?ve been someone who has always struggled with my weight and just felt uncomfortable with myself. My weight is always changing and I never feel healthy. I have always been a pretty active person but I want to start feeling healthy. I?m currently in Nursing School and it?s hard to be able to spend hours at the gym when I have so much going on with school. I want to start this healthy journey but I?m unsure where exactly to start this is why I think your app would change my life. I would be forever grateful for this opportunity and I just want to say thank you for always being so inspiring. I hope I get the chance to win this giveaway. Thank you.

Chris and Heidi, Thank you so much for this opportunity! I have watched every episode of extreme weight loss and cried at every episode because somehow all of your clients have a similar struggle as I. I wished that I could be a part of your show, but being in Canada made it a little difficult. This, however, is the perfect opportunity for me to step it up a notch. I had lost 140lbs on my own but then had some major unexpected life changes that sent me I to a downward spiral. I have regained 38lvs and now am struggling so badly to drop that weight and more. I currently weigh 235lbs and am so tired of being uncomfortable in my own skin. I want to rock a bathing suit with confidence. I turned 40 in March so I am now struggling with how much our bodies change as we age, as well. Your app and guidance will most definitely help me to see the light.
As for a workout partner to share that win with, hands down my good friend Sara T would definitely be my choice. We have both struggled our entire lives with our weight and are working hard together to rock this weight loss FOR GOOD!!
Thanks for the opportunity!
Good luck to all ?
I would Love to Win the lifetime program ?
I?ve Been doing Sports My Wohle life, but also gained some weight. Last year i Started my Transformation again, i Love the program and doing physique now, after the weight loss at Home program.
I think the App is Great because you can adjust so much. I?m from Austria, so just sometimes its hard with the recipes, some more European stuff would Be great to have.
?? Hope to win ??
I think my sister and I would have so much fun together transforming! My sister and I just had baby girls. We are first time moms together and would really like to transform our bodies together! It?s so nice to have each other to lean on and experience all the ?first times? with our babies! We also want to be fit mom?s so we can be the best examples to our girls! We want to
enjoy life! We want to learn how to stay on a fitness routine with babies. We are also full time working moms and we both work in the medical field. We could really use the help! We would love to be chosen to be lifetime members!
I would love to win this! I just started the app this week and I love the food, I’m learning a lot and trying to enjoy the exercise.
I don?t feel like I should win this giveaway however if I did win this giveaway I would be more then appreciative and feel like this was a ?second? chance to restart my life and body. Being only 34 years old, over weight, stay at home mom, two kids and having medical condition it has always been a struggle.. but I never gave up. Despite working hard to lose weight it still didn?t happen. I was put on optifast to help me lose weight and now that I have lost the weight and can learn how to eat healthy foods and choose healthy foods this app would be perfect for my to learn how to do so. Not only that learning how to incorporate proper exercises would also be so beneficial for me as well to keep myself healthy so I can continue to do fun things with my family and be the MOM they want me and need me to be. Please Heidi and Chris, consider me all the way from Thunder Bay Ontario Canada to be the winner. I promise I won?t let you down. I will submit progress pictures along the way, keep you updated and will follow your app exactly as it is designed to be followed. I just need this chance.
I would love to win this for me and my daughter. She is now working as an LVN and working her way through school to be an RN. She is on her feet 12 hours and now working nights talk about long hours. Also she has been going through a divorce and that means me stepping in to help with the kids. Working 3pm to 3 am is hard and we need lots of help with eating . And for us to work toghther i feel this would be amazing and help us both thank you for this love your post . Happy Memorial day week end
