After walking up 26 steps my heart rate was up to 130, and i was a little out of breath. is this normal? maybe i'm just out of shape?

Maybe: Are you overweight? - that could account for it. The more important measure is heart rate recovery. There are many defintions. An easy one is: measure hr at peak and 1 minute after. If it falls by 18 BPM or more, you're okay. The more it drops, the better. If this measure is abnormal, you should see your doctor for tests.
