Health App - Parsing and Using Data

I want to draw a comparison of workout data (for a bike ride, let's say) regarding shared heart rate, time, and GPS data points between Apple Watch and Garmin. I have an Apple Watch Series 5 and a Garmin Fenix 3 HR. I realize Apple has their own graphing, but I want raw data so I can place COMPLETE SETS of Garmin and Apple data points side by side.

I have been looking at ways to export Apple Watch data, and many involve python scripting or compiling programs from source code. I'm not that guy. I do not program, code, or script.

The raw data from the Health App apparently comes in an XML format. While I have been able to convert it to comma delimited (readable by Excel) using this utility, the resulting data is somewhat incomprehensible (even when I open it in excel).

Does anyone know of a way to format this data so that I can export all data points (retaining integrity of source data) in a way that will allow me to create graphs? I'll probably use Excel graphs, unless there is a better solution out there that doesn't involve insane amounts of coding and scripting.

Thanks

Apple Watch
