Because of a foot injury, I was forced to buy a rower as my cardio training. Traditionally, I hate ALL cardio and would only do it when forcing myself. Because of my injury, I gained almost 40 lbs and had to do something. After trying several types of machines, I enjoyed the feel of a water rower the most, so went that route. It was okay at best, but yet another mind numbing cardio workout that was a slog.
Buying the Ergatta upgrade was the best money I've spent in years. I always avoided this type of thing as I don't like watching a screen where people yell at me and try to make me die in a puddle of sweat. Ergatta was a really nice surprise. Not only are there programs that exactly suit my goals, but the system adjusts to my fitness level. I always feel pushed without feeling beaten. I've grown to really love it in a short amount of time.
If you had told me that I would wake up on cardio days looking forward to my workout, I would have laughed at you. But that's exactly happens now. I not only can't wait for my rowing days, but I often jump on on off days too. In the short time I've had my Ergatta, I have already noticed an improvement in both endurance and strength. I'd highly recommend this to anyone even remotely interested!!!
