2 minutes burns 60 calories???? Slow down! Go for length of time NOT SPEED. The longer exercise at a slower speed will increase weight loss, gradually improve stamina, and not cause a heart attack. How fast are you going?
And reduce the tension on the pedals. If you are pushing against enormous resistance, you can hurt yourself as well as shorten your time.
