Fall is one of the best times to get active outdoors—cooler running weather, crisp air, and the vibrant colors of the season make every workout feel refreshing. But with winter right around the corner, now’s the time to gear up so you can stay motivated, safe, and comfortable.
The best part? You don’t even have to leave the house. I’ve rounded up 13 fall fitness essentials you can add to your Amazon cart today—and if you have Prime, you’ll get free shipping with no minimum purchase.
Stay Safe in the Dark
PETZL Actik Compact Multifunction Headlamp -$52.95
With the days getting shorter, you may want to invest in a headlamp to light your path. I love the Olight Array 2 Pro High Performance Headlamp but in the end, is it really necessary to pay $120+ for a headlamp? Amazon offers the PETZL Actik Compact Multifunction Headlamp in a variety of colors starting at $52.95.
RUISHYY Reflective Running Vest 2-10 Pack – $19.99
Stay safe and visible during nighttime runs or outdoor activities with this adjustable reflective vest. The shoulder and waist straps are fully adjustable for a comfortable fit for men, women, and children, while wide reflective stripes increase visibility up to 800 feet.
Apple Watch Series 10 – GPS 46mm – $549.00
The Apple Watch Series 10 features a bigger, brighter display in a thinner, lighter design and tracks health metrics like ECG, heart rate, sleep, and menstrual cycles. It’s perfect for outdoor sports with safety features like Fall Detection, Crash Detection, and Emergency SOS, while also offering advanced fitness tracking and seamless connectivity with Apple devices.
Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds – $179.00
The Apple AirPods 4 offer all-day comfort, improved sound and call quality, and up to 30 hours of battery life in a dust-, sweat-, and water-resistant design. I prefer them because they aren’t noise-canceling—so I stay aware while running—don’t have the rebound sound of silicone tips, and last for years (my old pair is still working after 5).

Protect Your Skin (Yes, Even in Fall)
Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm with SPF 30 – Wild Peony – $7.99
The Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm SPF 30 provides broad-spectrum mineral sun protection while adding a natural hint of rosy color. Formulated with zinc oxide, shea butter, responsibly sourced beeswax, and botanicals, it nourishes and moisturizes lips with a soft matte finish. Conveniently sized and cruelty-free, it’s ideal for daily use and on-the-go sun protection.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Fluid SPF-50 Facial Sunscreen – $30.50
More effective than your most expensive moisturizer in keeping skin looking young, I keep one on my sink and one in my makeup bag so my skin is always protected. It’s completely invisible under makeup, offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection, and is water- and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes. Perfect for daily wear, even on sensitive skin, it keeps you protected without irritation.
Step Up Your Footwear
ALTRA Womens Lone Peak 9 Sneaker – $171.46
The Altra Women’s Lone Peak 9+ is a rugged trail shoe designed for both comfort and performance, featuring a wide toe box, responsive cushioning, and a grippy outsole built for rough terrain. Its zero-drop platform and durable build promote a natural stride while offering protection and stability on varied trails. For more cushioning, the Altra Torin or Olympus are great options.
I stick with Altra because the zero drop and wide toe box let my feet move naturally, and for recovery, nothing beats the OOFOS Ooahh Slide—they feel like walking on clouds.
