Just what the world needs –  another iPhone fitness app, right? Well, there’s certainly no shortage of iPhone fitness apps, but most of them are inaccurate and somewhat contradictory. If you download one fitness app and go for a 5k run, that app will tell you that you’ve burned 400 calories. Download another app, go for the same run, and the other app may tell you that you’ve burned 200 calories. Which app is correct? Your guess is as good as any, but the truth is that most fitness apps can’t be accurate.

In order to provide you with an accurate number of calories burned, an app must be able to track your heart-rate. In order to do this, some kind of heart monitor must be included with an app, and this is precisely where Wahoo Fitness app comes into play. This app is a regular app that can be downloaded from the app store, but it’s also an app that comes with a precise heart-rate monitor.

When using the app, simply slip the monitor across your chest, and you’ll get an accurate reading. If you are serious about your weight and figuring out how many calories you’ve burned, the Wahoo Fitness app is one of the best apps out there. This app also plays nicely with other fitness apps, so you can use more than one app to get things moving.

Check out the Wahoo Fitness app by visiting the Apple App Store. This app isn’t free (it will cost you $100+), but it does come with one of the only ways to find out how many calories you’ve actually burned.
