I’m a total techie & wanted to get this all set up, but found I was in for a ride. See [...] for an idea of what you need to even use this device. The first year your $79 gadget will cost you over $300. First, you pay $79. Second, you buy one of the related apps for a YEARLY $20-40. Yes, I said yearly. Then you have to get a chest strap to transmit heart rate. Maybe you already have that. If you want to use on a bike or Spinning bike, add another $40 for a cadence sensor. To see all the info on one of their “partner” websites, you need to shell out another $119-179/YEARLY. Is this really worth it? $324? This company’s first gen products flipped things around, free app but $154 hardware.
If you already have a chest strap, you probably already have a heart monitor watch. This little bit of gadget candy proved too expensive with too many hidden costs.

I am able to monitor all my workouts easily. I had a problem getting my heart rate in the desirable range until I started monitoring my workouts with the audible alarm feature for the range that was too high for me. It is fun comparing the stats from when I first started using the Digifit to now.

It really is incredible tracking your cardio exercise on your iPhone. Tracking my workouts using a heart monitor on the iPhone has helped me lose 15 pounds and get int the best shape I’ve been in for years. I just put on my heart rate monitor belt and plug in Digifit Connect and because it is ANT+ wireless compatible it just works! No user manual, no toggling around a watch with buttons. So I am a happy camper until my wife accidentally puts my gym shorts in the washing machine with Digifit Connect in the pocket. And guess what? It still freaking works!!! Truly UNBELIEVABLE!!!
P.S. I use Digifit Connect with Garmin Heart Rate Monitor and Garmin Foot Pod and the great thing is the Garmin Foot Pod is not a throw away like Nike+, you can change the battery!

I wanted to start with the Cardio App, since I have a Garmin heartbelt, but no foot pod. I downloaded it from the iPhone Apps Store. It is $20 for a year subscription. It was easy to pair the heartbelt with iCardio. Then I launched iCardio and walked around the house. It picked up the heartbelt no problem. So later on, I went for a run. I had not set up my workouts, so I just used Quickstart. It logged heart rate, max rate, average rate, time in zones, and calories burned. When I got back, it was ready with a summary of my workout – and ready to send it to a website – except I didn’t have a website to send it to. I am hoping Digifit will have its website ready soon. I’m going to get a footpod now and upgrade to iRunner. -*-*-*-June 17 – I have now added a footpod and upgraded to iRunner right inside the Digifit app. So now I am recording both heart rate and pace in real time, something I can’t do with my Nike sensors and my iPhone. I run in a hilly area, so it is like doing a structured workout going up and down in zones. The data in real time is so interesting that I am actually running with my iPhone in my hand so I can watch my heart and stride respond to the grade I am running. I did not think I would like having the iPhone in my hand like that, but it is actually quite comfortable. When I am watching real-time, I find myself working a little bit harder. I am trying to get the highest calories per heartbeat, so I am very interested in what happens in each zone. It is also great to be able to look back at workouts I did a month ago and see what my progress has been. Can’t wait for the website to be up.
