Here comes a little device called 60beat, that brings GPS information and heart rate monitoring together on your iPhone. The 60beat costs only $30, it’s basically a GPS and heart rate personal training device. The device attaches to the audio jack of your iPhone, which is able to pick up signals from 5Khz or Polar compatible heart rate monitor chest strap.
You have to install the right applications on your iPhone, in order for the entire system to function correctly. The basic application shows you your heart rate including body reaction to your work out in target zones such as fat burning, aerobic, or anaerobic. You can also set the zones based on ages, max rate etc.
There are some other apps that work with the 60beat including the LogYourRun, LogYourRide which combine your heart rate with GPS information for the ultimate workout stats. These apps are priced at $2 each. The 60beat hardware can be purchased from Amazon.
