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 feel I need this cause I’m just lost in life at the moment. I have always before been able to find my way back,regarding work,gym/working out,feeling happy but now I’m just stuck. Im totally lost and I truly feel this can help me.
And I know I’m supposed to write just about why I need it but my friend in the states,Austin, (I’m in Sweden) needs this as well. He has always been overweight and he has lost some weight by himself just to gain it again and he needs help to know what to do,what to eat, coaching etc. I know he wants it,he has told me that many many times…so yeah I would love to win this but I really want this for Austin,he’s young and he deserves this.
Thank you for taking your time reading, and I apologize if my English is bad,haha 🙂
Heidi (and Chris) ,
I?ve followed you both for a while, and you are both the most down to earth, inspirational people. I would love to win this opportunity to better myself. I?ve always taken pride in taking care of other people, making sure their needs are met, and trying to make others happy. Although I will never regret or apologize for that, I have reached a point where putting myself last has become a hinderance to being happy with myself. Having access to the transform app without the burden of the cost would be a huge blessing. I?ve seen the lives your program has changed, I want that for myself. Plain and simple. Love your blog and IG account, it?s so uplifting every day!
I would love to win because having your app is what gets me motivated to go to the gym! I was in a rut and bored with going and then I got the transform app and bam! I loved going again!
Hey guys! First off let me just say I loved watching your tv show, I watched every episode! I feel like I should win this because I?ve struggled with my weight for awhile now, yes I?m not super huge but I have no motivation most of the time. I always get discouraged and let myself down about it so I feel I don?t need to lose any weight I?m fine how I am. I go to the gym and I eat healthier then I used to but I?m not doing the right things I suppose. I don?t really know how to express all that I?m feeling or Thinking. I?m not gonna sit and beg to win this because a lot of people deserve this as much as I do. I just hope I?m one to win, good luck to you all! Xoxo
I would love to win a lifetime membership because fitness is the only thing I have found that keeps me going. I became a mom at such a young age that I had no choice but to grow up before I was ready. my identity changed when I became mom and all the things I loved were put on the back burner to put my kids first. For so long, my needs were put on hold and I became so lost, completely disconnected from the person I once was. For 3 years now we?ve lived in a state without friends or family, completely on our own without a tribe. I?ve battled depression and mood swings, my husband and I had a period of marriage counseling. I hated who I had become, uncomfortable in my own skin, ashamed of the mother and wife I was.. I wanted out of this hell I felt I was drowning in so I got help from a physician who put me on antidepressants and they made me a zombie. I had no emotion, no connection to the people around me or the ones who needed me most. I still couldn?t keep up, had no motivation to be present. So after months of living with a band aid of the symptom, I finally quit the antidepressants and saw a naturopathic Dr. We did several IV vitamin therapy treatments that really didn?t make me FEEL any different… it wasn?t until I decided I had enough of this misery and took control of what was happening. I needed to find myself again, love myself and all live a better life. In that journey, I found fitness. I started changing my diet and my daily routine. Almost immediately I had more energy, I felt motivated, more importantly, I felt happy. The harder I pushed myself, the better results I had. My body was finally changing, I stopped feeling in edge and stressed out about everything. I could be present for my kids, enjoy my family and even keep up with the household chores! Fitness has been my light at the end of the tunnel. Fitness has helped me re-establish my identity and learn to love who I am and the life I have built. I would love to win this membership so I will forever have fitness as an outlet in times of darkness. Most importantly, I really need my kids to see that I will never fail them and for them to learn that with a healthy lifestyle, they too, can conquer anything! Thank you!!
I would LOVE to win free access for LIFE!!! I have followed you guys since Chris was on extreme make over by himself. Love you both and everything you guys have created! Winning free access would be incredible! I have tried different workout programs, diets you name it – but I have never had the best success as I have with carb cycling and the workouts I?ve had with this app! I am in love. Even when I am feeling like I?m
Not giving my all of that I haven?t been able to get as many workouts in I still see results! I know this works and it?s not a diet or regime – it?s a lifestyle! How much better would it be to have the best possible tool for life than to have the Transform app forever! I use the meal plans to cook dinner and for my family and prep meals for when I?m at work and temptations call. I seriously love this app and that there are different programs for the different seasons of life I am in. It is seriously a game changer and I don?t know where I would be without it! Still have ?weight? to loose.. but I don?t even care about the scale (we?ll worming towards that). Instead I?m focusing on muscle gain and healthy living. – This app helps provide that lifestyle and I am so excited to keep on using it and tell others all about it!
I would love to win this life time app. To help me lose weight and educate my self been healthy. I have always struggle w my weight. I have lost weight but when i lose it i cant get down from 200pound. I will love to win this prize. Good Luck Everyone
Hi I am a mom of two whirlwind boys and I work full time as a kindergarten leader.
I love my boys, I love my job but I also love your app. It helps me to stay healthy, strong and sane. I would absolutely love it to win this prize and with it some me time.
I read all the other comments and I must say wow! It is really hard to choose.
Love to all of you and greetings from Germany
I would love to win this because I?ve never really felt 100% pretty. I grew up in a household where cooking was a rarity. We would eat snacks, frozen dinners, pretty much anything bad for you. I lost weight on my own when I was 13 just by cutting out the foods I was eating but I can?t seem to do that now. I?m now 22 and have a 1 year old daughter and I feel like I dont even know the first thing about cooking healthy food. I try my best for her, but it?s so hard to know what to cook and what not to cook. I?ve also dealt with a lot of pain from injuries that occurred when I was 12 and I?ve just recently started feeling better after seeing a chiropractor. I?ve been so out of alignment for so long it?s been hindering me from working out. I love working out but I really feel like your app would help me know what workouts I should be doing and how to do them correctly. I really think that my time is now to be the best person and best mom I can be. I want to be healthy and be happy with the person I see in the mirror and I want my daughter to be proud of who I am. Thanks for your consideration. I really love all of the tips you post on instragram about health and fitness. You?re truly inspiring!
Hi Heidi!
I have be overweight my whole life and I have tried a lot of different programs to help lose the weight and nothing has worked. I have sleep apnea so I never get a full nights rest. By losing weight I would be able to sleep better and feel better all around! Thank you so much for this opportunity and I’m hoping I win!
