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.

Heidi! This is so exciting! My husband and I would be so overjoyed to be given the transform app! We have been searching and searching for something that will help us get out of our funk. We lost our baby to miscarriage on Christmas last year and have gained a significant amount of weight from the depression and emotional eating that has followed us like the plague. We feel very trapped in our bodies and have just been praying that something will click. We are desperate. I am the biggest I’ve ever been and he’s not too far behind. We want to lose the weight for our health, so we can enjoy our lives without being held back and so that we can have a family and set a good example for them. Thanks for reading! We just love you guys, you are both such an inspiration!
Hi there my name isTatiana and I am completely obsessed with the transformation App. It?s my Bible! I?ve been using it everyday since Jan. 2018 and I can not imagine my life without it. I follow allow that accelerators, weight, and nutrition daily. I love the variety of food. My progress has been extremely slow but with persistence, dedication and consistency I have dropped 8 pounds since January and 4% body fat. I?m at 24% body fat today and my goal is to be at 20%bf. It could take months or years but I?m not giving up. I loved the food option so much that I put my 2 teenage boys on the transformation nutrition plan. They are both football players and in 2 months of eating this way they have gotten leaner, stronger and faster. It?s incredible how much nutrition plays a huge role on how you feel. I need this app forever! I cannot marine my life without it! I?m also a PE teacher and I use some of your moves with my students. Please pick me! My girlfriend Rose Russo also uses your App daily and I would like to tag her as well. Have a happy Sunday!!! Stay positive and always smile??!
My name is Stephanie in age 44. I?ve tried many programs and lost motivation and crushed my spirits but really need that life changing help more then ever. Currently my husband is fighting stage 3 esophageal cancer and has lost over 150 lbs in less then 6 months dropping from 370 to 220 since November last year.i have struggled in the past almost tipping 300 and dropped to 250 but cannot get past that. I?ve had my own medical problems but now being his caregiver I need my health and strength more then ever . I need to be healthy to be there for him but also to be strong for my four kids and their fAmilies.
Hello! My name is Sarah. I have been following you for quite a while now. You are such and inspiration. My husband and I are committed to fitness for life. We have both always exercised and as we have aged we are finding our bodies changing in ways we never hoped for. Lol. I would Love the transformation app because I am at a plateau. I am out of new workout ideas and recipes. My husband and I both need someone to give us direction but financially can?t afford a trainer. Then there?s the 4 kids we want to be the best role models for. Healthy lifestyle is so important for us to teach them. Thank you for being an inspiration. And thank you for the opportunity to possible have the app for life!!!!!
I would love to have the opportunity to Learn and train from you and Chris. I have been big fans of yours for a long time now. I think I should win this because I deserve it. I deserve to treat and care for my body. I deserve to get in shape and learn healthy ways to maintain a lifestyle that helps me reach my full potential. Thank you for all that you do 🙂
Where to begin ?
Well I folllow you and Chris for a long time now on tv from France (Paris). I am a huge fan. Following the both of you on instagram, FB…
I had weight problems since I was 6. When I met my husband, I was overweight. He supported me all the way trough and more when I decided to have surgery… Now that I lost almost 40kg, I learn how to live with this new body. I do workout, but the last 8 months, life was hard. We lost my husband’mum, her sister was diagnosed cancer and I had to quit my job. We took weight and I stopped workout. I would like to get us back on track to have kids, be there for our family… It would be some kind of payback for all these years of support.
Would be such an honor 🙂
As a mama of 5 kids under the age of 11, full time wife and mama, as well as homeschooling mom, my life is full and busy! My youngest is only 4 months old, and I started using the Transform App about 7 or 8 weeks after he was born. My husband also has the app, and has been seeing great results! It?s been so easy with a newborn to just workout at home, and it?s been amazing for our children to see us both exercising at home! They love chanting the coaching lines from both Chris and Heidi- ?This is your destiny!? And ?You?re a fat burning machine!? ?My little ones especially like doing the exercises with us! We believe we are leaving a legacy of good health for our children! I would love to win the lifetime app, as we plan on using it anyway for life…that?s how much of an impact it?s been making on our whole family! ?
I think the question is why WOULDN’T I want to win the membership? I’m not in a place financially to be able to afford luxeries like fitness apps but am definitely commited to a healthy lifestyle. I am currently just using YouTube videos and free workouts I can find online, would love to have access to an app where everything is in one place! Thanks for being so generous!
I would absolutely love to win this package. My weight has been an lifetime challenge for me. I have had a yo yo weight pattern all my life. I am now 42 and want to be around for my wife and kids for as long as I can. I have been able to lose weight and then quickly put back on. I enjoy working out but when i stop, the weight comes back on. I would like to be able to have a healthy weight without killing myself. I enjoy your program and would love to continue it.
Hi! I?m fairly new to the app .. but would absolutely LOVE ? to win a lifetime membership!
