Another iPhone Accessory to Keep Your Heart Pumping


Okay, well this accessory won’t KEEP your heart pumping, but if for some reason your heart should stop pumping, this gadget will let you know. It’s a heart monitor that you can use with your iPhone. Nothing extravagant or fancy, strictly a heart monitor. For those of you that use iPhone with your workouts and like to keep an eye on your heart rate, this will be very handy. The iPhone Heart Monitor allows you to listen to your beating heart through the iPhone’s built in microphone, or with a headphone microphone. It will pick up your heart rate and display it on the monitor. You can harness your heart beat through pulse points on your wrist, neck, or right over your heart and ultimately the usefulness here is that it will give you an idea of where you stand fitness wise.


It is suggested that you know how to find your pulse before you try the Heart Monitor, as this will give you a better feel for where to place the monitor when you are trying to guage your heart beat. It will work on both 2G and 3G models, but works better on 3G, and also works better where there is little environmental noise distraction…i.e. quiet places. If you are using this at the gym, you may want to run to the rest room to check it out. But when you consider the cost of a mere $5 bucks, it’s not a bad handy dandy tool to have around. You can pick it up from the iTunes store using Heart Monitor as the keyword.
