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 found the man of my dreams and we are getting married next months. He is not as passionate as I am about fitness, but with this program we can have access anywhere and make it easier on our busy daily schedule
I watched Chris when he first started many years ago here in Phoenix. He did a giveaway way back when and I entered but didn?t win. Fast forward so many years and although I have tried almost every diet & program, I am still obese. Winning for me would mean a fighting chance to living healthy and hopefully adding a few more years to my life. . I need to be around for my family; I need to start living because although I?m walking, talking & breathing, I feel lost and dead on the inside.
What an incredible opportunity !
I am a teacher in France and as you know, in our line of work, the days are long and crazy ! Next year, I will be moving to another part of France for work and my fiance will stay where we leave now for his work, so we won’t be living together for a few months and I would love for us to take this opportunity and focus on ourselves and get healthy before our wedding in 2020 !! When I finally move back, we will do the workouts together and plan our meals in advance, the key to success and keeping the weight off !
Thank you for this fantastic giveaway !
Love from France !

I would love to win this for me and my sister! I have always loved watching you and Chris and I love watching you and your family on Instagram! I used to go to the gym 3 times a week but life happened and it all stopped. I have lost my motivation to get back especially after moving towns and now I don’t know anybody, I think the app would be like my new gym buddy. My sister is also trying to lose weight after having my gorgeous nephew and I think this app would help motivate and inspire her and she definitely deserves it!
I’ve struggled with my weight for most of my life and unfortunately, so has my beautiful daughter, Serena. I know I’m supposed to but I honestly can’t even put into words what an amazing opportunity winning this contest would be. Of course I want to look amazing but what I desire most of all is to finally be comfortable in my own skin. I want to be healthy, full of energy, and free from all of the physical pain that goes along with being overweight. I truly love who I am on the inside and I really wouldn’t mind being a little more enamored with the outside, too!
Hello Heidi and Chris!
My name is Avery and I?m a 23 year old that lives in a super small town in Michigan. I?ve been overweight my entire life, probably since I was 5 years old. Food has always been a coping mechanism for me. As I?ve gotten older, the weight has been harder to come off, even with me regulating my diet. Gym membership in my town is really expensive so I?ve always held off and hoped one day I?d be able to afford monthly expenses for it and it hasn?t happened as of right now as I?m using any extra expenses towards mental health care that my insurance doesn?t cover. Having access to this app would be life changing. It would give me proper tools to learn how to better my life not just for my physical health, but mental health as well. I?m hoping that with this lifetime access it?ll show me how to let the best parts of me shine through and to stop holding back as I?ve done most of my life due to fear and other excuses. I?m ready to change my life and this is the opportunity I?ve been waiting for.
Thank you for doing this giveaway and I hope to hear from you!
And good luck to all the entrants 🙂

Wow! Thanks for this giveaway! I gained 60 pounds with my first baby (and I started out in the worst shape in ever been in), lost about 40, and then got pregnant again and gained another 60! I am back to about 30 away from pre-baby weight as if slowly been figuring out macros since January. I used the transform app for 3 months, and it was quite affordable, but we’ve been trying our hardest to get out of debt and just cut everything that wasn’t essential. I would LOVE to win, but even if I don’t, I love what you two are doing for the world and your positivity! Thank you for the inspiring Instagram accounts to follow!
It would be amazing to win a lifetime membership to The TRANSFORM app! I am a busy mom of three & Navy wife, and between the moves, the deployments, and the genera day-to-day craziness, I LOVE this app to keep me on track with workouts and food! Plus I would love to be an ambassador for the app (I tell everyone about it!), so a lifetime membership would be a perfect fit! You and me together forever!
At first I wasn?t sure what to say regarding why I want to win this subscription but then I realized exactly why it?s so important to me to get my health and fitness journey started. I owe it to not only myself but also to my 4month old son. I want to be an active mother. I want to be the mom that is able to keep up with my little boy. I want to run, jump, and climb with him. I want to go on adventures and explore the world. Since becoming a mom I?ve done what I think a lot of us do and that?s putting myself last. I put my son and husband first in life. Having this subscription would allow me to focus on myself and my health while also ensuring I?m setting myself up to be the mother that I want to be.
Instead of telling you why I would love it, I will tell you why my husband Ben deserves it. He is the most caring and loving person I know (why I married him). We have been together since HS and over the years have gained weight. He loves to work out, but has a hard time keeping the weight off. With health risks in his genes, I worry for him. He gets so down when he falls off the gym wagon. Gets depressed when clothes don’t fit. He loves beung active, but working nights as a first responder, he dosnt always have the engery after a 13 hour shift. But when he comes gome after the gym he is in high spirits and finds the engery to play with our 2 year old before he sleeps. With some navigation and your support, I know he will complete what he needs to succeed!
