The heart rate monitor with MP3 player that selects music based on your heart rate.

If you are one of those people who always like to go running with music and you are also considering the option of buying a heart rate monitor, this may be the gadget you are looking for.

But how does this heart rate monitor and MP3 player work at the same time? Quite simply. The device chooses the music according to the intensity of the training previously chosen by the athlete and by means of a heart rate sensor monitors the data obtaining as a response an appropriate music according to the pace of training that we carry.

This musical heart rate monitor includes more than 80 training sessions, based on the motivation of each moment and the mood, specific for running, cycling and elliptical. In turn, these are classified into four categories that aim to make you progress, lose weight, let off steam, or relax. All this, with the help of a vocal trainer who will guide and motivate you throughout the session.

Optionally, for a fee of 9.99 euros, on the mygeonaute.com website you can set a long-term goal: from finishing a marathon to losing 5 kilos in weight. You can also plan your training frequency, your level and your favorite sport. And thanks to these data, your virtual coach will design a specific and individualized program of several weeks of training that will allow you to achieve your goals easily.

It also offers the option of measuring distance and speed with the integrated accelerometer, which they have named the ONmiles Pod.
