Ride a bike or use a bike exercise machine
Of course you ride a bike outdoors and use the exercise machine inside. One thing about the exercise machine is that you can watch TV, read a book, or listen to music.

Take a walk
This is an outdoor exercise but you can do it indoors. You can walk at the mall or walk in place at home watching TV, reading a book, or playing your favorite video game. To make it fun, walk with your pet, or ask a friend or family member to walk with you.
