For the past two weeks that I've been using the Ergatta, I haven't run at all, so this has been my main form of cardio. Compared to running, I love how rowing is more of a total-body workout. Even though it looks like it only targets your upper body because you're pulling the handle with your arms, if you're rowing correctly, you're actually really pushing with your feet, so you feel it in the backs of your legs and butt, like you would when deadlifting.
Rowing also really works your abs because you engage them every time you pull. And using this Ergatta Rower in particular made me work my abs more because I was pushing my pace so hard during the sprint intervals. After two weeks just walking around and doing everyday things like carrying groceries, biking my kids to school, and lifting my dog into my daughter's loft, I noticed that my core felt stronger. Everything felt stronger, actually!
