Heidi Zak’s Go-To Workout Routine
Sometimes self-care takes a back seat between your 9-to-5 and wrangling the kids. Our co-founder, Heidi Zak, is here to share her morning workout routine to inspire you to start your day by putting yourself first.
Why Heidi Moves
As a mom of two and CEO, Heidi aims to have time for herself. Schedules can quickly become overloaded and overwhelming, making time for movement does wonders for your body and mind.
“Working out is my ‘me’ time to be alone with my thoughts. It helps me have more energy throughout the day, sleep better, and stay strong,” Heidi says.
The 30 Minute Circuit
Busy schedules have nothing on this circuit—30 minutes is all it takes, and no gym membership is needed. Whether in an apartment, hotel room, or toddler-run living room, just have enough room to jump, lunge, and spread your arms safely.
Move at your own pace and skill level, modifying as needed. All movement is good movement!

“It fits like a regular bra, making it a total game-changer,” she adds.
