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.
- Mommy & Me Tabata Workout
- Get Outside and Celebrate Earth Day!
- March Madness!!!! A Powell Pack Family Workout

You guys are the best of the best! My sister and I have been trying to lose weight since we?ve finished having our babies! We both have 4 kids! My youngest is 12 and her youngest is 7. Neither one of us has had success in losing the weight and keeping it off! We try and it seems we just keep gaining! We need your help and the help of the app for life! I am a single mom and a special education teacher! Funds are limited so having this gift would mean the world! Pick us please!
??? ? would ?? 2 ?!!!! I have the hardest time keeping track of food and staying motivated. I would love to be lucky enough to win!!! I have two young boys and am going through a divorce. I have figured out I am an emotional eater and need help getting and staying on track. And finding the time to workout with working and taking care of my boys is a difficult thing because the time I get with them, I want to spend with them and the time way from them I feel like I have so much to do that comes before exercising or eating healthy. Thanks ?? for considering me. ???? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I would love to have a life time subscription to the app! I have been trying for a long time to get back into shape. I am a mom of 4 girls ages 30,24,19 and 17 and have a grand baby and another on the way. My 2 youngest are my step daughters that I have raised full time from the time they were 3 and 5 and man that wasn?t easy. There were a lot of ups and downs but I made it through. I just never have had much time for my self. It? has not always been easy making time for my self. Now that they are all pretty much grown I am trying to learn a new me a new chapter in life and a healthy one. I became a mom when I barely turned 15 so my whole life has been a mom and working so I am wanting to learn a new me and find my passion. I have always told my husband I wish I could go stay with Heidi and Chris for at least a month to learn healthy way of living and to just help me get on the right track and a jump start in a good rutin.
Sincerely , Angeline Kirk
It would help me so much by removing the financial aspect of trying to get the last 50 pounds lost!
I would love to win the lifetime access to the app so my BFF Daun and I could finally get our nutrition under control! I love to work out but I have fallen away from it and I just don?t want to be an old fat lady!
I think I should win the free lifetime access to the transform app because I?m a huge lover of it and both YOU and Chris! I truly love the way you designed the app and I used it for 3 months and was just in love with it! I still use it and resuse the workouts! I would actively use it regularly as my spouse and I live a very active life and strive to maintain good health and strong mind, bodies and souls.. your program keeps me on track and allows for just that! I also truly love the movement behind it and brag to people about your APP all the time while in the gym and have got a handful of people to sign up!! I will continue to do so as I highly respect the two of you!
My husband and I would LOVE to win the giveaway!! We are trying to get back into being fit and living a healthy lifestyle. We have 3 kids (2 teens and an 8 year old). We want to be able to keep up with them!! Lol! Parenting is a full time job but we are committed to showing them how important it is to take care of your body. This would be a tremendous help!! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge on Instagram! It?s so refreshing to see a husband and wife team! We love how you show your family life (and that it can be done even after having kids). Love and hugs!!
Omg!! What an amazing giveaway!! I would LOVE to win!!
I spend a lot of time in the hospital with my husband and this would make working out anywhere a lot easier. I?ve tried working out with trainers and getting gym memberships but when you spend a lot of time the hospital, it?s not really realistic. My husband was diagnosed in October 2016 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and we are still fighting battles to this day. He was able to have a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated (angel) bone marrow donor, but there are so many complications that come from that and I have let myself take a backseat to his health and well-being.
I?m a homeschooling mom of 3 and finding the time to workout is not always easy. But when I do, I love that I don?t have to leave the house and still get in a good workout. I?ve been using the app for a few months now and I love it. The workouts are great and the nutrition plan has meals that are similar to what I already eat. I like that I don?t have to wonder which workout I should do, I just open the app and do the one set for the day. But I?ve been struggling to stay consistent with both the workout and nutrition, which, of course, hasn?t helped me reach my goals, which is frustrating and makes me want to quit. So if I could win this, it would be nice to know that I will always have something to help me get back on track.
Hi Heidi! I would love to win the lifetime membership for my husband and I! We both tried your app when it first came out and loved it! In September I got pregnant with my third and am due in the next couple weeks. I am so eager to change my life for the better and set an example to our 2 little girls and sweet baby boy. My husband has always been a really great example so I know we would be a power couple!
