Is there a way to test VO2max without a professional?
Pretty much the most important metric you mentioned

Dun think so, mostly lab test only I think
Edit: my Aunt who smokes and drinks way too much for her age and is thin but completely sedentary just recently went for some kind of test/checkup at her cardiologist who put her on a treadmill and tested I think it was like blood pressure but may have been VO2max as well
Anyway, they said it rose to nearly stroke levels with mild amounts of intensity exertion, and warned her that she needs to regularly do something active for her heart
A recommendation that she continues to ignore. I’ll have a chat with her about it more and more and keep nagging her
