I don’t know what it is about the erg, but I can sit on it and row for a long time without getting bored.
Found a video on youtube that shows a high tech, fancy-pantsy setup. Yes, it would be very cool if I had this type of ergometer setup at the YMCA, but alas I do not.
Whoever this person is, he is going a great job keeping up the pace around 1:50 per 500 meters. I don’t think I can row at this pace for 2000 meters like he is (at least not yet).
