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

*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.

Why do I deserve to win? There?s no simple answer. Since I was 15 I?ve struggled with depression and as a mom I have anxiety to top it off, before having my second child I slumped into another depression and I would tell let all these bad thoughts convince me how my family would be so much better off with a better mom, who wasn?t sad some days for no reason, who didn?t yell, who had energy to care about herself a mom who smiled and didn?t hide from the world because she let all her demons in her head take over. My family is my life I love them more than anything and I have found after a few therapy session that instead of turning to medication exercise has been my go to to relieve my anxiety a keep my depression at bay. I deserve to take care of my health mentally and emotionally so that I can take care of my family. I deserve to be happy and play with my kids and not hide from the world and to let exercise be my medicine I deserve to be the best mom and wife to my family and take care of myself and set the best example I can. That?s why I deserve it.
I deserve to win because I?ve struggled with my weight my entire life. I had bariatric surgery 2 years ago, and I have gained a little back. I have come so far, and I don?t ever want to back to where I was! I want to have a family and be healthy for my kids. I want to set an example. I love the way you show your balance of life with exercise, eating right, and a family!
I know this may sound horrible but I’m doing this for me!!! I know I deserve the training and inspiration you guys give! It has taken me 30 yes to do something for me. I was always the one I’m going to do this so others will follow. Not anymore I have lost 50lbs already but I want the extra drive and accountability and inspiration I see you guys give millions everyday! I am ready for ME!!!!
My whole life I have been overweight & I thought I was doomed to be that way forever. 2 years ago I decided to change my life so I could actually enjoy living instead of just existing. The app has given me all the tools I need to see success. I love that it adapts based on my actual results and isn?t a one size fits all program. I want to continue the journey even after I meet my weight goal.
Before expecting twins, I was religiously following the transform app. I would write a lot down and i got quite a few friends to join.
Due to a very restrictive diet, i haven?t been able to use the application and would love to have something to help me jumpstart and get back
On track!
I finally found a way to lose weight and get myself motivated and start moving August 28th, all by myself I?ve lost 39 lbs and then the worst thing that could happen, did happen…I completely tore my ACL playing tag at the park with my son March 12th. I was devastated and lost a lot of my self confidence that I had gained. I finally had my ACL surgery yesterday and I can?t wait to get back to my true self and winning this would be such a kick in my a$$ in the right direction.
I am 27 and suffering from back problems. I live paycheck to paycheck and not many options for help. I?m about 100 pounds over weight and have been struggling to lose weight. My entire life I?ve been told I?m fat and not enough. That I?m not going anywhere in life. I?ve struggled with depression because of it. I want an opprotunity to lose weight and prove to all those people that i can do it and i am worthy. I want to be healthy and happy. I want to take the pain leave down and be able to start a family. I would love to win this giveaway!
I would love to have a lifetime membership because I?m already use the app and have made a lot of progress. I would love to see where it will take me!!
So why do I deserve to win the lifetime membership to the transform app? I have been a single parent for the last 9 years. My boys came first the during this time since their father was a sometime person in their life I needed to be there for them. I have let myself go during this time and now that my boys are older and more self sufficient I need to take back my life. With this membership I can work on me no matter how long it takes without having to worry about money (the dad isn’t good about making his child support payments). Excited for the chance to find me again.
Gained 80lbs when I losted my father from cancer. It’s been hard to lose the weight on my own. ANY help will be greatly appreciated.
