Heart rate: if your heart rate is 140 on a sofa having sex it might be the same calorie burn as walking on a treadmill. If the rate is 140 doing nothing, the burn will be less because muscle work will bee less

I exercise on a treadmill 3-4 times a week, 2-4 miles of walking per day. Today, I used a heart rate monitor for the first time. Walking uphill between 2-2.5 miles an hour, 15 degrees elevation, brought my HR to 208. Is this dangerous?

I have a 57 RHR. I workout 3-4 times per week and struggle to get my heart rate into an aerobic zone. I try to burn 600 calories per workout but per heart rate monitor it takes 1:30 hours. With Bradycardia is heart rate indicative of calorie burn?
