Indoor rowing is my winter workout. Got my Concept 2 Model D Jan 2020 and it's getting a lot of use now due to the colder weather.
I keep thinking of picking up an ergo; I have two Olympic medalist rowers in my immediate family (I'm the lazy one, for sure) and the balance would be good for me overall. Living in the desert Southwest now there's not a lot of chance to get out in a boat. My sister is a strong cyclist (strong everything!) and my step-Dad isn't slow either!

Honestly, knowing how driven you have to be to be top-level in the sport (any sport) have to wonder how much is just the mental fortitude.
