Ok, we’ll try to demystify this technology thingy. First, you need an iPhone. Okay. Now, this kit from Wahoo has two parts. First, there is an adaptor (they call it a “key”) that fits into the bottom outlet of your iPhone in the same spot where you attach the recharger. Second, there is a heart monitor belt that fits around your chest. Now, you also need to download one of the couple of dozen Apps from Wahoo that work with the heart monitor onto your iPhone, and after a little futzing to make it all work together, you have an App that tracks your heart rate and a ton of other stats about your run while you’re running. You can use this kit for cycling too (just download a different App). And thankfully, you can still play music while you get some exercise.
