I find that the more I exercise on my stationary bike, the more difficult it becomes. The first few times I can do the 30 minutes barely breaking out in a sweat, and then by the second week I am struggling after 15-20 minutes.
Shouldn't my endurance increase the longer I do it? Should I be doing something differently? I have been careful to eat a bit beforehand, something light like fruit, thinking that I needed more energy but it isn't helping. I am doing it every day, and I have also tried taking a break of a day in between but that doesn't help either or helps for the first day back after the break only.
Any advice you can offer?

maybe try mixing up your routines and be sure to get in some strength training
light weights, longer reps builds endurance ..0
