Exercise bike goals

[MrsPlopperson]

I'm overweight and very unfit. I've bought an exercise bike which should arrive in the next couple of days and am looking to use this as a starting point to being more active.

One of the things that I think will help motivate me is if I set myself some goals and record activity - like X miles cycled in a week or month etc. but I'm not sure where to start.

Is anyone able to suggest any realistic exercise bike goals for a beginner?

Thanks.

I would start on low resistance and try to cycle 1 mile or 1 km or through a half hour program on the TV. Then build up.

Thanks - will give that a shot.
