Yeah, I know the struggle. I can basically only use ear buds if I am at a desk. Any form of physical activity and movement and I'll have to adjust them back in regularly.
If you can wiggle your ears, that might be part of it. Another is how dry or oily the inside of your ears are. Another aspect is paranoia. I know I always think the buds might be loose and I'll make sure to adjust it every 5-15 minutes, even if they aren't loose. I just don't feel confident they won't fall out.
Appropriate sized silicone tips help a lot, but they work basically because of friction. If you have a lot of dusty ear wax or oily ear wax, efficacy goes down. Over the ear is the only type of headphone I've ever used over ear headphones for working out.

These headphones are great too. I have the older model, so I don't know how this one has been improved. I don't have the ambient sound feature. I found that noise isolating headphones often have a light thud when my foot impacts the ground when running, the Sonys I had amplified this I assume because of the band behind the neck. It wasn't too annoying once I got used to it, but I can see why people complained. The Aftershokz didn't have this issue, but these Sony ones were superior in other ways as well. Because they're waterproof, it was always extra awesome and special to continue using them during my cool down. Waterproof meant that I could continue wearing them while showering (part of the cool down) which IMO is ultra awesome.
