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.

Hey Heidi!
I have followed you and Chris since the beginning of Extreme Makeover Weightloss & followed so closely in 2014, that I got down to my pre-baby weight & then some just with your encouragement through the live tweeting sessions. Since then however, I have gotten divorced, remarried, & had another baby. And now find myself struggling with losing the weight again. My husband has also put on about 80 lbs since we got together just 3 years ago.
I am a spiritual mindset coach who helps women discover their identity beyond ?Mom? & create their ultimate self care ritual to balance Mom life with building their own business. I tell the women I work with daily that exercise and nutrition are keys to unlocking their full potential, but I still struggle with keeping to my own workouts & meal plans.
We know what needs to happen to get to where we want to be, it?s just a matter of sticking to it for us. We find ourselves using all the good excuses: I?m tired, it?s late, I don?t have time, one bite won?t hurt, etc. it?s exhausting, physically and mentally.
Having access to you and Chris for the rest of our future would be life changing to say the least. I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day & can?t wait to hear from you soon ??
I just turned 50 this past week and have big goals this year!!

Winning will help me with my goals above:)
Hello Heidi;
I would love to win because over the past 10 years I had been going to the gym and doing classes and training on my own. I still have not lost any weight. I can?t afford a personal trainer. Finally I gave up and quit going to the gym as I was just getting heavier and heavier.
A year and a half later I started doing the keto diet and have lost 30 pounds. Now I feel like I?ve got control of my weight and my diet but I need help getting to the gym and doing the right thing with my body. I am turning 54 next month and I already can tell my body is changing and I don?t want it to get old and weak. Thank you for the chance to win this!
I have been working out around 4 days a week for about 3 years and I am down about 50lbs. However I have been plateaued on my weight for the last year. I still loose inches but very slow. I think with the transformation app I could start to loose again and get to my goal weight.
Hi Heidi! My name is Casey and I am a mother to 3 littles. I had my last baby in November and am ready to transform my life. I was an athlete in high school but after getting married at 18 I just started to pack on the pounds. I want to have more energy to play with my kids. I want to feel better about myself and I also feel like this would be something my husband and I could do together which would in turn make us better parents but also better spouses for each other!
I am a 45 mother of 4. I work 1 full time job and 1 part time job. I am that person who does everything for everybody else and rarely takes the time for myself. Trying to find balance is very hard for me. I would love to win this membership so I can start taking care of me. So I can have more energy to do things with my children and not only be the best mom for them but to definitely lead by example. Whomever wins the membership will have received a wonderful opportunity !
I had worked my way down 70lbs from my brightest weight but unfortunately didn?t do it in a healthy enough way, and gained 40 back. Then I got pregnant. Unfortunately after my beautiful son was born in February I?m now back up to my highest weight and am struggling to find a balance to be a full time working mom and finding time for a workout. More so I?m nervous to go back to the gym knowing my fitness level is nowhere near what it was. I?ve been considering your app anyway, and the lifetime membership would be such a help!! I?d want to do it with my husband so we could improve our lifestyle together and both be a healthy example for our son.
I’m on Day 6 of the app and I love it! I can barely move from being so sore from the exercise but it hurts so good! ?
I am a mother of 3 and grandmother to 2 . I have always worked and right now working 50 to 60 hrs a week becuz we are so busy. I know what i should be doing but taking care of me has never been a priority. I want to be around for my family and i need to start now as i just turned 60. My husband is retired so to win this would be great. I love you and Chris and have always watched the shows
Thank you for all you do!!!
My name is Katie and I would love to win the app because I am a 35 year old mom of three great girls and I want to be able to show my girls a healthy lifestyle.
