Thanks to cutting-edge wearables and advances in the booming fitness tech industry, it's easier than ever to keep tabs on your heart health in real time.
While it can be motivating to measure your health progress with metrics like resting heart rate, the real test is low-tech, Paz said.
"For the vast majority of people, you don't need any of this stuff.
Once you understand your current fitness level and heart health, you can set yourself small, achievable goals, then try the test again and see exactly how much you've improved.
You don't need to run a marathon tomorrow," he said.
