Advise on MFP-compatible chest monitor & analog 5khz threadmill

bele2009

I am looking to get a chest monitor to have a better idea of my workouts intensity. I have a Bremshey threadmilll that could use an analog-type 5khz sensor. However I would like to use it as well when doing stationary bike. Is there any device I could get that would work with the 5khz receiver of my threadmilll and record data to mfp as well? I doubt the analog device would connect to mfp or my iPhone as well unless there is a dual mode device available?

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Polar H7. It works with my phone and many treadmills.

I'll look into the H7. Upon quick review it looks like it is a Bluetooth device so digital... Not analog for the threadmill. However I usually have my tablet or phone while on the treadmill so the lack of analog may not be a showstopper after all.

Would also consider other devices as well (watch?) if they could do both analog and digital.

It is both. I own one and can confirm it works on my treadmill and my phone. It also works with some Polar watches (I do own some older ones but never tested it).

Great then! I'll start shopping
