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.

Wow how generous of you to do this!!! I would love to win this because for so many years I have put other people before myself. Giving and giving of myself and not being appreciated has taken a toll on me. I finally have decided to put me first. My health has become my number one priority. Suffering from panic attacks and high blood pressure is no joke and I prayed for guidance and help and your Insta story came up on my feed with this opportunity. Thank you Lord and you as well for this. Thank you so much again for all that you do. Your husband and you have been a great inspiration and source of motivation to ?transform? myself once and for all!!!
I have followed you guys for many years now, including when Chris was on his own and released his first book (which I still have! -so glad Heidi joined in!!) now that I am a mom of three and about 65 pounds over what my ideal weight should be, I?m ready to have a lifestyle change! Also I am in my last year of my twenties so I?d like to go out of my twenties in the best shape of my life! I know this app would help me!
I?d LOVE to win the lifetime transformation access! As a wife and mother I find it hard sometimes to find the time, the motivation and the will to get up and move! I?ve gone through a lot of changes within the past couple of years and have really struggled with trying to get back on track. A difficult miscarriage, a botched surgery and just depression have really given me many setbacks! This would not only change my life but give me BACK my life . I have followed you guys for years and trust your process whole heartedly. Thank you for this opportunity !!!! I hope I?m considered randomly ??
I am ready to get my best body! I have had three babies and am so thankful my body carried and nourished them so well. I however am ready to feel like myself again so I can now be the best I can for myself and my family!
Why do I deserve to win? I have 2 kids that are my world and would love to grow old with them. My family has history of heart diseases and diabetes. I am a volunteer firefighter and would love to get into shape and be able to do it again.
I?d like to win cause this app is so inspiring and because I chose myself and need help!!! I?d like it if my bestie caroline Marcil could win too !!! I could talk about on why you should chose me but I also think that everyone should be chosen ! So to tell the thruth i?d Be extremely happy if it would be me but I also think that everyone who participate should have the chance xxx good luck to you all

I’ve never been thin or in shape, but last August I started working out again, and I have been able to lose 35 lbs on my own. I’ve hit a plateau, and even with a pretty good diet, I feel like I need help. I need more ideas and accountability. I love you guys, and I need friends like you in my life! My sister is pregnant with baby number 3 right now, and she needs you! She doesn’t have much time for anything these days, outside of work and babies, so she needs to meet you. Since it probably won’t happen in person, she needs the app!!
I am a busy teacher and mama and for the last 5 years I have stayed heathy primarily through at home workouts. I would love to have this resource to help me continue my health journey. I love following you guys!
I would be so blesssd to win this giveaway because I?ve already seeing transformation in myself with the ?transform at home? from Heide that I purchased.
My mom recently became very mentally ill and taking care of her has caused me stress and anxiety. Being the oldest sibling I felt it wasn?t my responsibility to help her in some way and I began to lose weight by stress. When I realized what this was doing to my body I was challenged from Heide?s 5 mins a day for 5 days Challenge and after I completed all 5 days I was led to purchased the transform at home to continue to give myself the self care I need to I can continue to care for my mom. Since then I?ve built endurance, mental strength, and friends and family notice tone and definition in my muscles. I feel the transform app is now the next step to continue on this journey.. because if it?s one of many things I?ve learned from the Powell?s it?s to care for myself because as a wife mother of two and caring for my own mother… I can?t do that if I myself am not healthy first.
I would love to win because working grave shifts as a nurse makes it hard to have a consistent routine of eating healthy and exercising. This would help so much in my goals to live healthier and focus on me and my success and happiness!
