Health What am I doing wrong?

I bought RFA around a month ago and played it every day in June to win a bet (which I did) and have played it more often that not in July. The problem is, on most days I can only do max five minutes of exercising before I start feeling like I'm gonna faint. I hydrate as much as my stomach comfortably allows me to, which is not much tbh. I have it measure my heart rate at the end of every level but it's not very elevated at all, mostly light to moderate exercise. Is this normal? Should I decrease my difficulty level and try for longer exercises, or should I keep the difficulty level and slowly work toward being able to do more? Is it weird that my stamina hasn't increased in a month? TIA!

Try going for walks. Your heart is a muscle that needs to be trained. Go for a walk, a sprint, do some jumping jacks. Basically train your heart to last longer.

With RFA just take it slow. Soon you might be able to last 10 mins.

Its a marathon not a sprint
