Chase the Zen is a mindful exercising platform that combines meditation with long distance running, cycling , walking or rowing. While its concept is simple to understand and use, the results that it creates is substantial and life changing. This is the first app of its kind and here is what you need to know up front:

This app is based on short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loop… a cycle where the brain receives quick bursts of pleasure-inducing dopamine through immediate rewards reinforcing the behavior and creating a loop of repeated engagement. And while that can sound like a negative thing when referring to apps like instagram and tik Tok, in this case, the repeated engagement refers to turning your preferred form of exercise into a lasting habit. And what that should mean to you as an early subscriber is that we have solved a huge problem… And that problem we solved is making a person enjoy exercising so much… that they stick with it for the long term. Here are some bullet points.

[ ] It allows you to work on your physical and mental health at the same time.
[ ] It causes or empowers your mind to stay present and focused; and with practice, even finding FlowState - peak mental state of intense focus and effortless engagement, leading to enhanced performance.
[ ] It’s adjustable to anyones tempo, pace or rhythm… which will make more sense when you get deeper in this.
[ ] And most importantly… It tricks your brain into thinking you’re dancing causing consistent doses of dopamine and serotonin making your exercise experience instantly rewarding.

It started as a mindful running app that combines the mental health benefits of meditation with long distance running. But through 5 years of development and 3 years of testing, it evolved beyond its original intention. We found that its greatest strength is its ability to trick your brain into thinking you’re dancing which causes your brain to release dopamine and other happy brain chemicals. This realization taught us that we had four different apps in one.

This is how it works: Let’s use the running version to explain. First, choose a song that suits your mood. Think of titles of songs as mantras. Adjust the tempo of the running song to match your pace. 170 bpm for a nice relaxing run, or 180 and above if you are training for a race. Start on the one with your dominate foot. (Counting 1,2,3,4,) Now breath (Counting 1,2,3,4,). Shallow at first and deeper as you get winded. Focus on your form, stay locked to the beat and enjoy the dopamine.

When you’re ready to try mindful running, dedicate not all, but a portion of your run to being present and immersed in the relentless forward motion. Find this sacred headspace by clearing your mind and focusing on your breathing and form. Every-time your mind starts to wonder, say “Not Now Thought” and return to the focusing on your breathing and form while staying locked to the beat.
