We are very excited to announce that we have partnered with Polar to make heart rate integration available for CardioTrainer. You can purchase the Polar Wearlink+ Bluetooth transmitter for a guaranteed low price of $79.95, and you read reviews and buy from Amazon by clicking the link below:

We’ve tried to make the set-up as easy as possible, and the video below has a full overview:

For more help, you can visit our online Heart Rate FAQ.

We know it has been a highly anticipated feature for many users for a long time, so please let us know what you think! Here are some screenshots of it in action:

This newest version of CardioTrainer also includes a fix to the permanent account problem that many users have reported, and adds support to back up your weight loss data from Weight Loss Trainer (restoring this weight loss data will come soon). There are also some small fixes to make CardioTrainer Facebook posts visible on the phone (but not if they include a map due to Flash compatibility).

Your feedback is always incredibly helpful, so please let us know what you think!

At the best,
The WorkSmart Labs family

We just released an update to the CardioTrainer Facebook application that lets you map out your workout and then post it to your profile. You don’t need a smartphone to do this, so anyone with a Facebook profile can post information about their workout.

Let your family and friends know that they can check it out right now by visiting apps.facebook.com/cardiotrainer.

This is still an early version, and we have lots of ideas to keep making it better. Let us know what you think in the comments below!
