Exercise Questions - Why Are My Muscles So Fatigued?

Exercise Question:
I have not exercised since I graduated from high school twelve years ago. I lack cardio endurance and muscular strength/endurance. I just joined a gym and bought a treadmill for my home. I can do 30 minutes on the treadmill just fine, but my problem is every time I try to use the stepper, bike, or the elliptical machine my leg muscles get so fatigued after a few minutes. It's not so much as I am out of breath, it's more my legs go into a spasms if I keep going. It so embarrassing. What should I do? Where should I start. I just want to be able use those machines, go up stairs, or up a hill with no problems. Please give me any advice you can. I didn't know who I should ask advice from for this matter.

Exercise Answer:
If you have been experiencing these muscle spasms for a while now, I would highly recommend contacting your local physician and have a full physical performed. This may be caused by other factors and you want to make sure you are fine before performing these exercises. Once you have a clean bill of health, let me know and I will create a cardio plan for you.
