My birthday is coming up and my parents have asked me what I want between the following things, and I’m so torn between:

Fitbit Ultra
BodyMedia Fit Link
Really good HRM
A basic beginners bike (a regular bike, not a stationary)
Really good new running shoes

What would you choose and why?

    I love my HRM, so I say go with that. But a quality pair of running shoes is probably astronomically more important (if you're a runner).

    Do you bike or run more? Cause I'd pick one of those.

    The HRM would be a great tool to have but the other two are your actual means to perform the exercise so they win hands down.

    go with the HRM, I've been meaning to buy one for a while. That way you'll exactly how hard you're working at the gym.

    Thanks guys!

    Well right now I distance walk/run more but that's because I don't have a bike. I think if I had a bike, I'd do a healthy mix of both.
