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

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 am a mother of four kids. I work 2 jobs, one as a medical assistant and at night as an Emt. My husband works in law inforcment. We both spend our time helping others in their time of need. My husband has always stayed fit but I have let myself go to well crap. I put everything into being a mom and my job helping others. I have just started to realize that to help others you have to take some time for yourself as well. This would be a great help to get me back on track and back into shape. I have started to work out again and am studying up on macros and eating healthy. I have lost 13 pounds and would love to have the tools to keep going on this journey back to better health. I am borderline diabetic and have to do this for my own health this time. You would think working in healthcare I would be better but again I have given my time to my family and the job. I would love to win this again to help in my journey back to my better self.
HEllo Chris and Heidi.
The reason I feel like I should win lifetime access to the TRANSFORM app is because (a little back story) my husband and I have been together for 11 years and married for 7 and I gained so much wait with having some ovarian problems and just eating junk being a 20 something yearl old. Since then I was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism and just can?t seem to lose any weight. I have been at the same weight for 3 years and I do pretty regular workouts. I just went to a mountain bike race in Fruita CO and did 4 laps of 7.5 miles in the 18 hr race period. I am so willing to put in the work just can?t seem to pin point what my issue is and how my body isn?t resulting my work I am putting into it. Please consider me and let me show how much booty kicking I can do.
My partner that I would love to choose to do this with is my husband. He is so perfect and I just love him to pieces. He gained some weight at the beginning of our relationship and having his job on the go makes him take quick lunches which resulted in bad choices. So all in all this would be such a great program for both of us to jump all in and dominate. Thanks for your time and consideration.
I would love to win the lifetime membership. I have recently been diagnosed with heart disease and I need a life saving life style change.
Hello to the Powell?s!
I?m submitting to win the lifetime membership. For the last couple years I have been working 60+ work weeks to pay for medical bills and school payments for my husband to further his career. I?m a nurse and I take care of so many people daily but it?s been on my heart that I don?t take care of myself as I should. As I hold the hands of those bringing people into this world and those who are leaving it opens my eyes to how valuable health truly is. I would also like to nominate my husband for this. He is a firefighter/paramedic who risks his life daily going into hostile situations to pull people out to give them another chance of life in fires. He is my hero, if I couldn?t win this I would like him to because he?s been trying to get into better shape to be able to save everyone and himself in a fire while wearing his 75lb gear and oxygen tank.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
God Bless!
I downloaded your app about 3 months ago but even though it?s not too expensive I still can?t afford it so I always check your instergram out to check out what to do and other platforms. I?m turning the BIG40 soon and never been into gyms my husband his so I started going with him as he wanted me to go to give him motivation and supporting him he say we train together we stay together must be correct been 23years. I want to be more comfortable in the free weights area too Heidi seams very educational in this for the pass 5 years iv had to look after my daughter that take us to lot of hospital appointment which will continue all her life so I need to be able to have something I can have at hand time use
I would choose my friend and fellow teacher. We both love to workout and stay fit but are on tight budgets because we are both teachers and receive low pay. We are also full time graduate students working towards our Master?s degrees but do not receive the benefits of university gyms. Working out helps us to be our best selves so then we can be the best for our students. I would love to have a lifetime membership so I can continue hitting my fitness goals while also bettering myself for my students.
I would choose my Husband! He and I are ready to take our lives back and get healthy for our selves and our 5 kids!! We have. Followed you guys for ever and know that this is just what we need to make sure we have all the right tools to get this right and make the right choices for LIFE!!!!
I?ve been lifting weights and following you for a while and you are such an inspiration! My sister just had my sweet niece a year ago and she has been getting back into shape so I would love to win the lifetime membership and give one to her so we can both continue to live a fit life. Also I know that lifetime has amazing kids care for her baby. This is such an amazing gift you are giving. God bless you and your family??
I would love to win because I truly believe in your system and love what you stand for. I have shared this app to those in my gym as well as others. I have used the app for the last 4 weeks and have seen great results. I would love to promote this app in hopes to help others get healthy and change their lives.
“The strongest people are not those who show strength in front of us but those who win battles we know nothing about.”
My name is Kristen and I am well on my way to 35. On May 20th, 2017 I graduated from Nursing School with my ADN and am a Registered Nurse currently completing my BSN while working full-time. This is my story. This is why I would love the opportunity to use the transform app to assist me in my health and fitness journey.
At the age of six, I was diagnosed with a rare, incurable hip disease. This particular disease is more often than not seen in adolescent boys and yet, for whatever reason, I became one of the few young girls to be diagnosed with it. After countless trips to different specialists and different hospitals, I was presented with two options: wear a newly developed orthopedic brace for almost 6 years or live my life bound to a wheelchair. The decision was easy but the journey was anything but.
Tormented, teased, and bullied. Pointed at, stared at, and laughed at. Walking was nothing short of a task. I cried more than any child ever should. I was an outcast amongst my peers. And yet, I was a resilient little girl and I perservered. The love and compassion from my family and friends kept me going.
I was given a gift. The gift to use my legs, to walk, to run, to dance. As I have grown up, my weight has always been a struggle because of those braces. At my heaviest I weighed 265lbs. So I decided to run. Running has become my passion, my outlet, my time for inner peace and reflection. However, working full-time as well as going to school full-time has significantly decreased my time focusing on my own health and wellness. My story is not more significant nor important than anyone else’s. Everyone has overcome their own struggles. The chance to gain access to the transform app for free for a year is just something I could not pass up. Whether I am chosen or not, I want to thank you for the opportunity as well as all you do. You are an inspiration, an amazing motivator, and a woman to look up to.
