Hi Guys

I am new to these forums and I don't know where to add my new post.

About 8 months ago I decided to take exercise more seriously. I started to go on a stationary bike for about 30-40mins a day. It was great in the beginning . I went from 220lbs to about 200lbs in about 4 months.

It wasn't just the weight loss that I noticed the most. It was how much firmer my legs and arms were becoming. I didn't care about the number as much as I did about the change in my body.

I later had abdominal surgery which put me out for another 3 months without exercise and I regained some of the weight back and my legs loosed a bit.

so I started exercising again and I noticed those firms legs again with stationary biking. I began to see my toned legs once more.

However, in the past week. My legs have been continously tired. I can't get more than 15 minutes of biking out of them. I took two days off but my legs still feel heavy as if they're attached to 20lb anchors.

What should I do? any advice?
 
I had a chance to talk to a really smart mixed martial arts coach. What he told me definitely applies to your predicament.

When a car and driver are selected for the Daytona 500, how do they get the car ready? At a glance it would seem they just run it around and around the track. If you look more closely, you would notice they don't just run it around and around. They continously stop....evaluate and give the car more "power" to get the job done. Check alignment, change tires, top of fluids, change out the entire engine if needed. Before to long you got yourself a supercharged race car.

This applies very much to you. To increase your ability on this bike, and get more solid and lean, you will need to eat right, increase your endurance, increase your strength, and enhance your recovery time. Think of the small things you can do to make this happen and go from there. Also check around this forum for advice that has already been given to people in your predicament.

Goodluck
 
Yea, from what it seems like maybe your not getting enough food? I dont know though thats all I can think of.
 
Recovery is very important too, to prevent overtraining. Are you taking 1-2 days off a week? Or do you bike everyday? Although biking may not seem that difficult, you still need to give your body time to rest.
 
It could be anything. You may be bored. Your muscles may want to do something else. You may be over training. You may not be hydrated. You may not be fueling properly.
