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 would absolutely love to win this! I have been on a journey losing weight on my own. I have lost 50lbs with diet and exercise . It has been a struggle staying on track. I think getting your app would give me some more motivation! I would love help in continuing my weight lose journey!
I have finally made fitness a commitment and love the transform app. It allows me to choose a program and follow through keeping me focused to push through and reach each goal. Because let?s be honest the transformation never ends.
I would love to have y?all in my back pocket. I would love to never have to worry about not having a trainer. I?ve always looked up to you and Chris and this would be an absolutely lovely gift. ???
Wow!!! I think I have a pretty slim chance since it took me about a minute to scroll down (but I think I burned a calorie or 2 doing it! ?) I would LOVE the chance to win this membership. I used to love working out (I even taught fitness classes for a couple years) and in the last couple years that feeling has changed. I don?t know how to get it back. I?ve put on 45lbs and am so sad about how my clothes fit and how I look. I?m a teacher and I tutor as well, and welp…I?m no spring chicken anymore. If I win this I really feel, it will give me the boost I need. I really hope you give me a chance.
Thank you!
I would love to win cause I?m still struggling with those last -10 lbs. I would love the food portion if the apps and of course also the gym workouts!! I would workout more with my best friend/sister Judy.
It is clear how much love you and Chris put into your work. And so appreciated!! The transformation app is second to none and this would be a life changing gift! I’m a bit of a nerd and love the science behind my workouts and meals, so it means so much to me all the effort y’all put into everything.
I need this to continue my fitness and journey! Reducing my body fat percentage is my goal!!
OMG this would be amazing for me and my friend we have both made up our minds it?s time to get healthy. I?m a mother of two boys and she has three children of her own. Our kids are all the same age so they participate in sports together. We want to get healthy not only for ourselves but for our families as well. To be able to get out and play with the kids without tiring out to fast. We both have a big journey ahead of us and this app would be great so we can work together and support one another. We are so blessed to have the support of our families and we would be equally blessed to have your support as well.
Man, that was a ton of comments to scroll through! My family is already users of the transform app and would love to be able to use in all three phases as we accomplish our goals. Our why?s are not only our own personal integrity growth but also changing our family culture. We?re new parents and have been working so that we can really embrace the life events and lifestyle we want to foster for our babe and honestly our pup too! I?m down all the baby weight and am working to make maintainable changes to get the rest off, the program has already helped us so much. it?s such a great tool lifetime access would be incredible!
I would LOVE to take you and Chris with me through my journey through life! I am currently on summer break after finishing 1 of 5 semesters of nursing school! My first semester I went to the gym TWICE (I know!). So this summer I took the plunge and joined the transform app so I could get myself in a system and new state of mind that the gym is a required part of my daily/weekly routine especially once school starts back up again in August. It has been a mildly rough start so far, I will admit, but after following you, Chris and the transform app on Instagram (handle britaus) I was able to find motivation to go to the gym on even the hardest of days! If we have this power only two weeks in, I truely can?t imagine the power we can behold throughout a lifetime! Here?s to sweating it out all summer in Tucson, AZ kickstarting my fitness journey that I hope will last a lifetime!!!
