Good options when you can't afford a gym (and it's cold outside)

What are some things you all do at home to stay in shape?

There aren't any gyms around where I live or work that are less than $40 a month, and I simply don't have the extra money. I really prefer to get outside and move, but I live in the Midwest and it's nasty cold right now.

Dress up in winter clothes and go for a walk for an hour every day.

That's what I'm now doing this semester (and probably the next one as well), to loose weight, as I walk home from school - weekends as well - which takes me and hour and five minutes; and I live in the northern hemisphere near the artic circle

What do you wear? I prefer to be outside, but can't find clothes that are lightweight enough to move in, but still keep the cold out.

Just a grey wool jacket - I actually did an Google Image search and found the exact jacket; hotlinking to the image doesn't work but perhaps the link to the auction site will work link

Well I got a stationary cycle (not even a good one, don't even plug it in...). I station it in front of the tv, watch a football game or something and do jumping jacks next to it to mix things up.

Look for some cheap equipment on craigslist. People should be sick of exercising by now. You can do yoga, pushups, jumping jacks, planking, all sorts of things at home.
