hi vanessa,
well, good for you - I have rented one and in my 2nd month right now - I started with 10 minutes twice a day - then, added a third time - now trying to do 15 minutes each time - to be honest, the saddle hurts my bum, so not too comfortable right now - I should be doing more ... oh, and no resistance because my stamina is short lived -
I do not like the bicuycle at all, but this is okay - The weather has not been too great for walking outside - here in the forest it gets very muddy and path is uneven - so this is defintely an outcome for me -
I believe that I see some muscles reappear on my calves
you go girl, big warm hug

Having a daily routine with your exercise will help.
I always have a rest afterwards, as it can make you feel tired at the end. It is a lovely feeling being able to cycle again!

If you cannot spare 15 minutes, or get interrupted, you can always go back and do some more later.
It is an excellent way of exercising and building stamina whenever you cannot get out because of the weather.
