3% is about right, although the section I pooped out on was a stretch of 8% grade. No history of heart disease ad the last time I had a PE that included an EKG was about 6 months ago. I am on a mild BP med but nothing drastic. I'm 5'8" and weigh 190, I've always been into fitness but have slowed down a bit the last 4 years, and altogether halted when the gyms closed during the height of COVID. I may find a more level stretch and see how I feel, and if good, start trying to get into condition from there. Turning 66 in a couple months so I have to expect to slow down a bit, right?
