Give Workout Woes a Scare with October’s New Fitness Gear

October’s a fun-filled month with plenty of treats, frights and cool autumn nights. Yet, as winter lurks in the distance, it’s important to keep your fitness goals on track, which can be terrifying without the right tools.

Thankfully, the 10th month of the year has a pumpkin patch full of new and exciting essentials ready to keep your training on target and out of the cemetery. From tasty meals and supplements to at-home training upgrades, these products are all treats, no tricks.

Gatorade Gummies

Gatorade

Supplements don’t always need to be boring powders or capsules. These tasty gummies were formulated with scientists from the Gatorade Sports Science Institute to deliver key vitamins and nutrients. The cherry-flavored Recovery Gummies feature hearty doses of tart cherry powder and vitamin D to help with post-workout comedowns. The citrusy Immune Gummies, on the other hand, can prep your body for flu season with helpful notes of vitamin C and zinc.

Both gummies are gluten free and feature no artificial coloring. Pick up these innovative new supplements today and get the fuel you need for healthier training days ahead.

Colder fall weather means many will be taking their workouts indoors — or at least reading the forecasts more closely before lacing up for a training session. Why not make at-home workouts more appealing with a stylish piece of fitness equipment? Featuring a slimmed-down frame that’s just over five feet tall, the Fiture Mini can fit virtually any space while still delivering as much heart-pounding training potential as its predecessor, the Fiture Core.

With a constantly evolving library of classes and programs, the Fiture Mini can meet any workout needs. Thanks to a flexible, month-to-month membership service, you’re easily able to hit the pause button on your commitments, if you ever need to do so.

No need to navigate through hordes of trick-or-treaters to get your cycling workouts in. The all-new Zwift Hub is a rock-solid indoor trainer offering powerful sessions that automatically adjust resistance to give your pedaling that true on-road vibe. The wireless, quiet trainer can be ordered with or without a pre-installed cassette, making setup a sweet endeavor, too.

The Hub is Zwift’s first venture into hardware, and an ideal pair to the brand’s companion app full of workouts, events, races and more. There might be some sorcery involved, however, as we’re shocked at how a well-built direct drive trainer could be so budget-friendly.

Garmin Index BPM

Want to keep tabs on your body beyond what your smartwatch measures? The new Garmin Index BPM is a sleek wearable that monitors systolic and diastolic blood pressure at home or on the go. The compact frame features an integrated display, allowing for easy-to-read statistics immediately after they’re taken.

The Garmin Index BPM can also be paired with the Garmin Connect app, keeping all your health metrics in one convenient spot. Reports are kept over 7-day, 4-week and 1-year intervals, and can even be exported as PDFs to share with your healthcare provider. While this might not be the best wearable to don during a scary movie marathon, it’s a fast and easy way to monitor your metrics.

Great for soothing headaches and eye strain, this all-new wearable is comfortable on the face, and the heat, vibration and massage modalities help improve sleep.

As you may know, nighttime running can be a fantastic way to log your miles through new environments, especially if your daytime hours are completely scheduled out. But running in low light conditions means extra safety precautions to make sure you aren’t the one going bump in the night. This all-new pack from the running gurus at Nathan combines the safety of high-vis reflectivity with the storage conveniences of a well-made hydration pack.

A geo-reflective pattern spans the back, and the front straps boast reflective bars across the chest to keep you visible at all angles. Ample pockets and a 1.5L bladder add to this tote, make it useful whether taking on an early-morning jog or running at the witching hour.

Walking can be a great way to get your steps in while enjoying the crisp, fall weather throughout the month of October. But what if your apparel could boost your mood as you take in the sights and sounds of autumn? Taking inspiration from your favorite weighted blanket, the Pyvot Dash Vest features precision-calculated weight, applying a comfortable amount of pressure that can help ease anxiety and boost emotional and physical wellbeing, all while logging a few more miles.

The additional weight can also help improve your posture and strengthen your core, giving this helpful layer some layered benefits. Pyvot also makes a hooded jacket for those brisk mornings when the weather calls for a little more calming coverage.

Immi Instant Ramen

Instant ramen can be a soothing dish on any chill-filled October day, but many of our go-to packs aren’t, shall we say, the most nutrient-rich meals. Well, Immi is changing that narrative thanks to its lineup of protein-packed noodles that are, as the brand states, “surprisingly healthy.” Choose from three delectable flavors — Black Garlic “Chicken,” Spicy “Beef” or Tom Yum “Shrimp” — and indulge in a soothing bowl featuring 21 grams of protein, 6 grams of net carbs and a 100 percent plant-based makeup.

Immi also recommends toppings for each flavor option, allowing you to fine-tune dishes to your liking. So, get the water ready, queue up your favorite monster movie, and hit your macro goals with a tasty dish.
