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.

I?m getting married in October this year and want to start the rest of my life in the best shape mentally and physically that is possible. I?ve always been an athlete growing up but after my dad died when I was 20 I?ve been on and off the healthy lifestyle wagon. I?ve been doing your plan for 6weeks now and it?s helping me to finally get back on my feet and back to where I want to be.
My husband have been through some really difficult things since 2015. We are finally putting some time into taking care of ourselves, we have been feeling so tired and horrible. A few weeks ago, we were talking about transforming our lives and I happened to find the transformation app and I just knew this was for us! God is always speaking and directing and I believe that day He led mr to you! xx Mel
I would love to do this with my very best friend I have know from birth. We both started out in Texas & are both now in Colorado. We both have different weight goals but both need help. Gyms intimidate me, I’m at a loss with food, I’m overwhelmed when it comes to all of this. And when I say the word diet, I want all things full of sugar & bad for me. I seriously need help. I try other programs & everyone around me talks about how much success they are having while I sit here and say I gained 2 pounds. HELP ME!
Hey Heidi!
I?d love to win because I?ve been following you guys for ages but had a few life changes and winning lifetime access would be a great help!
I?ve recently split up with my long term partner (10 years) and found myself in an emotional eating rollacoaster, I believe your guidance and structure in the app could really benefit me and allow me to take control! I can lose this weight gain and then move to muscle building! I was doing all of this prior to the breakup and feel like the app would be the perfect solution.. Unfortunate due to having to sell my home I can no longer afford the coach I had so this would be perfect!!
I am ready to TRANSFORM my life and be a promise keeper to myself. You can either make excuses or make results and I am so ready to make results!
Since I am young I try to lose weight. I am mother of two. I tried lot of things so that nobody still believe me in my family when I told them that I begin a new program. Yesterday my sister told me, you should accept that at your age (34) you will never make it. She laughed. I smiled, but my heart was broken. I thank Heidi and Chris for their joy and not judging people. Changing is a lifetime process, so why not a lifetime access to your app.
Hi Heidi. Since puberty my weight started to gain. Mostley because I started to eat away my problems. Being ignored by my parenst lowered my self esteem and made me feel like I was nobody. Now I’m 42 and start to learn to accept myself. But there’s still a long way to go to lose all the weight. So a lifetime acces to your app would really help!
I would love to win this I wish I could buy the lifetime
Package but it?s just not in our price range right now so winning would be incredible I?ve recently gone through some scary health changes that have rocked my world. I was super fit before my kiddo came into this world but afterwards was diagnosed with a condition that has made following my old fitness routine and nutrition routine out of the question so having such a positive coach and app to check in with and get videos I mean I love th ehow to?s to stay motivated but give me the tools I need would be amazing plus I just love the app!!
Hi, I am a mother of two and a military wife.
I have put myself last my whole life so that others around me friends or family was always taken care of. At 48 now I am in bad physical shape. Botched double mastectomy and broken abdominal muscle I am not making any headway. So much scar tissue created other problems with working out. I just had surgery two months ago to help relive some of the pain and fix other problems. 112 stickers later I am still trying to walk more than 15 minutes at a time.I want to live so much longer and healthier so someday I will see and play with my grandkids. I have tried so may life changing workouts and nutritional foods but to no avail. I need yalls help so much so I can live longer.
I would love to win this! I have a very personal story, I have private messaged Heidi before. This would mean everything to me.?
