I am a student who is 18 and trying to get a little fitter. I ride my bike too and from class everyday (about 2 miles). I have done this for about a month. By this time you would think I would be at least a little in shape. However, I still run out of breath exremely easy and just walking up the street can make me winded. Is there a particular reason for this?

Little about myself:
Lived on the east coast now go to school in the mountain west. 260ibs (not fat nasty fat. Kinda built fat) 18 y/o I have been in the west for about two months so I don't think the atmosphere change is the problem however I could be wrong.

Well 2 miles isnt a lot... but your are true, you should got at least a little bit better in shape.

You eat too much. You dont burn tons of calories while riding a bike 4 miles. You burn ~200- 400 depending on your speed and if you think 'oh yea, i ride my bike, so i can eat more'. I think that is your mistake. Get a clean diet. E.g a snickers bar has ~260 calories (that small one). So if you ride your 4 miles, then eat a snickers you dont get the decifit. No decifit- no weight loss...
