My heart rate wont go up when im on the treadmill is stays right around 130. The treadmill says it should be around 156 and it just keeps inclining, the only way it goes up is if i jog and i can only jog for about 30 seconds then im so out of breath i have to walk again but my heart rate goes right back down to 130. How do i keep it up?

    What do you mean it says you should be around 156? You're going to have a great deal of difficulty getting your HR up much past 130 with walking. Getting your HR up requires increased intensity/exertion.
