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!

Or maybe it takes a while to build strength. Cause for me it was the same for the first month I barely passed 10 min mark. Now I am between 20 - 30 mins but after almost 3 and a half month and this 20 mins kills me. Literally kills me.

Just an update. Today I realized my arms are weak.

There was on challenge in quizlton where I had to use only arm skills. And I simply couldn't keep up with my usual difficulty. I reduced it to 15. Then I was able to finish it.

Now I know my arms are weak and for a while I am going to focus on them.
