Heart Mag - March 2026 is all about walking. This post explains how to make walking count for heart health using a simple session structure (warm-up, steady walk, cool-down), Borg RPE and the talk test, plus a gradual progression plan that avoids doing too much too soon. It includes a 7-day walking streak and a 4-week base-building challenge.

Falling off track is normal. The fix isn’t guilt or “catching up” — it’s a restart plan. This post shares a 3-stage relapse plan (reduce load, rebuild routine, progress slowly), a 48-hour restart rule, and two SMART challenges to get momentum back without overdoing it.

It’s Heart Month. This Heart Mag issue explains 4 key numbers to know (blood pressure, non-HDL cholesterol, blood sugar risk, and waist/weight trend) and gives one simple action for each. It also highlights what’s happening during Heart Month: Walk for Hearts, CPR learning in 15 minutes, and awareness campaigns like Every Minute Matters. Pick one number and one habit — repeat it until it feels normal.

Happy New Year from My Movement Medicine. If you’re working on your heart health in 2026, you don’t need a dramatic reset, you need small steady habits. Start with 10 to 20 minutes a day at a comfortable to moderate effort, then build a simple 12 week routine with strength, cardio, and mobility.
