Is this bad for a heart rate walking on a treadmill?

The threadmill in my school's gym has a cardio setting that tries to maintain a heart rate the speed is restricted to 4.5mph (which is walking speed for me). I set mine to 170 and by the time it climbs to 170 the treadmill is on a 12~15 incline.

so... The answer isn't conclusive but I would take a stab and say your body is not efficient. I would presume that your resting heart rate is also a bit high.

That's a good exercise range for your age

Depends on how fast you were walking..

Yes that is way to high. That is more the heart rate of someone that had run for the same time frame. I would encourage you to see your Dr
