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.

My wife is about to have our third child. She was struggled to love the pregnancy weight and me with my ?sympathy? weight. We?ve used the app and both saw great results.
I love following you both on Instagram! You guys are so inspirational and I would love to win this to help my husband and I learn to eat healthier! Mainly so we can be good examples for our kids, but also feel better about ourselves. I would LOVE to win this and start living a healthier lifestyle ??
I would love to win your app because it?s the best. I?ve used it several times but due to financial restraints I couldn?t keep it long. I know that sounds pathetic but I?ve been unable to work for years due to chronic migraines. I?ve managed to lose over 100lbs but I still have 50 more to go. I know this would get me there. Funny thing I always wanted to try out for your show but I was way too embarrassed to show myself. I?m learning to get over that. I feel better about myself inside and out when I workout. Thank you and Chris for all you do.
Hi Heidi,
I would love to win this giveaway. I have been into fitness and health for years but since becoming a mom 8 months ago finding time to get to the gym and prep food has somewhat been on the back burner. Don?t get me wrong I still workout everyday which consists of 30 minute HIIT workouts and running with my son. I always make very healthy food choices but time for experimentation has gone out the window and it?s constantly just the same plain things over and over again. I have a background of training but it has been years and would just love to have someone else to tell me what to do rather then what I used to do of making a plan before heading to the gym. No time anymore! It?s quick fast, kick my butt workouts and then I?m done! I am a yoga instructor and constantly have students asking me what I do and to be honest telling them or guiding them as to what I use now just isn?t working. There are a million people deserving of this but hey, It?s worth the shot! My lil sis is just behind me in the baby train and her little is two months younger then mine, plus she has 3 more!! Crazy girl. I know this would help her tremendously as she doesn?t have a back ground at all in fitness and I used to be able to guide her but now just don?t have the needy or time at all. I would love her to win as well.. our fingers and toes are crossed.
I bought a year membership of the Transform App, and I love It! I was able to complete 8 weeks of physique level 2 before I was in a car accident. After taking almost a month off, I was able to finish level 2 with LOTS of modifications! ( I lost 18 pounds and several inches!!) April 5 of this year I had back surgery for yet another car accident I was in, in 2016. (I feel the need to say neither of these accidents were my fault!!) The surgery was a HUGE success, and I’ll be cleared to lift again in October, and I can’t wait to start the app again. Since I bought the year membership, my husband has been using the app. He’s maintained his weight, but he’s put on several inches of muscle. It would be amazing to win a lifetime membership for myself and my husband and continue what we’ve been working so hard on!
I would love to win this for many reasons! I have been trying to lose weight for years. I love the accountability from your app and the easiness of working out at home. I?m a Special Education teacher and some times, honestly, I don?t feel like leaving the house when I get home from work. So being able to have a great workout in home is amazing. I also love that it has tons of healthy recipes!
Would love to win the membership!! Have done the app before for 3 months and loved it! I? had really good results and felt strong. I?m currently pregnant and have been too sick and tired to work out. I?m looking forward to using it again in the future to get back in shape. Being a mom of 2 and 1 on the way the app is perfect for at home workouts!
As a stay at home mom I would love to win this so I can get my booty in the super shape I thought I would after kids. I go to the gym and do classes but I?d love to know more about what to do with the equipment and have a workout plan to follow. I?m consistently going 5+ days a week and haven?t seen much of anything so far and I know it?s because I?m not training effectively and I don?t know how to properly fuel my body.
Hi Heidi!! I would love to win this lifetime access just to know that I have no excuses but also because of the continual encouragement you and Chris always provide!! Having this app is a way to give me the drive and motivation to reach goals physically and mentally. I also live for the different workouts so I never get bored of the same thing ?
I would absolutely love to win this. I have tried several different workouts, and meal planning. They are affective, and then I loose complete interest. It wasn’t until I found you and Chris that I actually got that spark back into creating a life style change and workout like crazy. I follow and save your instagram stories, screenshot motivational things, and workouts. I love how honest and real you both are with working out, eating clean, and your home life. You two are so relatable, and fantastic! Thank you for giving hope to me, and many others for a better healither lifestyle.
