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.
- Mommy & Me Tabata Workout
- Get Outside and Celebrate Earth Day!

I am a single mom of seven currently working in my doctorate- life is busy and I want to focus on making myself the best version of me so my kids will see my example – when life gets hard we don?t quit. I don?t have time for the gym so the app will be essential in helping be focus my efforts and work smarter-I have always struggled a little in this area and when I watched Heidi so freely play in her bathing suit on the last Instagram story I said , out loud, I wonder what that feels like to be free and not feel insecure about your body -? I have never been there. The app would motivate me to be that best version –
Typos with bigs digits and being over zealous-! Sorry
Hi Heidi,
I love following you and your sweet family. Not only do you motivate me to become a better me, but you are truly inspiring. I know that what you and Chris do, you do with passion and love for those trying to overcome their unhealthy lifestyles. Your app is more than just recipes and workouts… it is a way of life! I love my husband so much and this is the reason I?m writing you. I KNOW that this app would get us both on track to becoming healthier and it would transform our bodies in a way we didn?t know possible.
Thank you for sharing the vacuum workout !! That?s the only abdominal workout I do now and it truly works. I?ve lost a few inches around my midsection(this is the toughest part of my body to tone-up). I know that our bodies could reach their potential if we were given the opportunity!!
Thank you so much for what you and your husband do. You are truly inspiring!!!
I would love to win this prize because, as a P.E. teacher, this is great for ideas and things as a human being that gets tired of creating workout for myself after doing do for my students. This is AMAZING.
I would love to have this opportunity. I have struggled with my weight most of my adult life. This last 2 years have been especially stressful as my husband had been very sick leading to the gift of a double lung transplant almost one year ago. I need to get healthy to be the best me I can be. I am a busy mother, grandmother, wife and nurse.
I?m going to need to restart my program time and time again #moving and #militarylife! Haha This program is amazing, not too much not too little and I?d love to kick it into full gear while my honey is away! It?s been easy to follow through even as a homeschooling mom of two crazy boys, this app makes it all possible. Also, heading out of the 20?s and into the ?big? 30?s on May 26 and what a GREAT way to that would be to welcome in the n cut chapter of my life! ??
Oh my goodness, what a generous giveaway!! One of my New Years resolutions was to have 365 workouts this year. So far, I?m on track (minus a few days, and the week I gave birth to my son lol). I am so struggling with the nutrition aspect, and would LOVE to have access to the recipes/education/life lessons in the Transform App. Chris and Heidi are so inspiring and I?d be thrilled for the chance to work with them. 🙂
Hey Heidi.
I would live this opportunity to have a lifetime of coaching from you guys.
Like many people in this world I have and have had a constant battle with my weight over the years and have lost 20 kg over the past while so that I can have an operation on the veins, but seem to have leveled out at the moment as I need to loose a bit more and thus time keep it off but I need some thing extra to get going again, weather it’s a kick up the bum or a new training routine. My wife is a runner and constantly trains and my goal one day is to actually go for a run with her instead of being the support team and meeting her at the end of the race.
I know you are going hundred of similar stories, but I would love this opportunity to be coached by you and experience your energy and positivity.
Heidi!!!
So I?m desperate, I need your help!!!!
My biggest problem is staying consistent since I?ve never found a program or routine that I feel works best for me…I?m a busy mom of 2 small boys that works full time so it?s also hard to find something that will fit my schedule. I feel like I do so good But never see the results I crave. I feel like unless I?m an Instagram fitness model, it?s impossible for a ?real person? to actually be a mom with abs ? so then I give up. I could really use this & so could my fellow moms I tagged. We try to keep each other motivated so they are my biggest cheerleaders, since they feel the same way. Such great support so if we can be hot moms that work together to help each other stay motivated it?s a Win WIN!!! Pick me!!!! ? #letsdothis #momswithabs
Your app changed the way I look at fitness and health. Best thing I ever came across. If I win, as a token of love, I?ll market the app for you amongst all my circle and in India and inspire more people to get healthy and enjoy life to the fullest.
I am a single Mom. I would like to win , so I can take my life back. I struggle with Lupus and fibro and this app would be my jumpstart to a healthy life.
Thank you for the chance to win! You two rock!??
