Exercise after a heart attack should be structured, gradual, and confidence-building. This guide explains NSTEMI vs STEMI basics, why Phase 3 cardiac rehab is the gold standard, how to structure safe sessions (warm-up, conditioning, cool-down), how hard it should feel (talk but not sing), when to stop, and an 8-week walking plan using FITT principles (progress one variable at a time).

UK clocks go forward on 29 March 2026. That “lost hour” often hits sleep, energy and motivation. This post gives a simple 10-day plan (3 days before + 7 after): keep sessions easy–moderate, use warm-up/cool-down, and prioritise consistency over intensity. Includes beginner and intermediate templates plus SMART challenges to stay on track.

Doomscrolling isn’t just “bad news” — it’s the pattern of scrolling past your own stopping point, often for reassurance or distraction, then feeling worse. This post shares a simple 3-Switch Plan (time windows, no notifications, replace one scroll with movement), plus “move while you scroll” tips and a 5–7 minute posture reset for phone neck and rounded shoulders.

Can music help in cardiac rehabilitation? This guide looks at the research behind music in exercise and coronary heart disease, explains how My Movement Medicine playlists are structured from warm-up to cool-down, and includes key studies on adherence, self-efficacy, and exercise experience.

Resistance bands are a simple, affordable way to build strength at home with controlled effort. This post explains how to use the Push + Pull band plans, how hard it should feel (talk test + Borg RPE), how to structure 2–3 sessions/week, and how to progress safely without overdoing it.

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.

This month marks three years of My Movement Medicine. No big speech needed — but it does feel like a good moment to reflect on what’s been built, what’s worked, and what we’re focusing on next. At its core, My Movement Medicine exists to make heart-healthy exercise feel safe, clear, and doable — especially for people who’ve had a cardiac event or for those who are at risk. Three years on, that aim hasn’t changed. The delivery has just become more refined, more consistent, a
