4 Indoor Activity Spaces to Help You Weather the Winter

Snow days can be a treat, but spending too much time indoors can lead to a real desire to get active. Transform your spare indoor space into an activity-friendly zone with these easy ideas featuring products from Costco.com.

1. Build a gym to break a sweat

Stretch those limbs from the comfort of your own home health club. Install gym flooring, sectioning out strength training or cardio stations, and you'll soon forget it's snowing sideways.

ProTip: Stay motivated with a little help from your favorite tunes. Mobile Bluetooth speakers can help keep you focused while you stretch, exercise and relax.

2. Design a game room for family fun

Stir-crazy kids (and spouse)? Show them to the rec room with flooring that converts to table tennis and a basketball system with double hoops. Store post-game refreshments in a minifridge.

ProTip: Help players keep score with an easy-to-hang dry-erase board. Or, make your own chalkboard.

3. Give tiny tots a place to play

When outdoor play is a no-go, keep the little ones entertained indoors. Put out interactive mats, encourage pretend play or help them stay active (with supervision) on an iBounce.

ProTip: Give things in the playroom a home so kids can learn to organize their space. Set out durable rugs to protect your floors from unforeseen spills or messes.

4. Find your om at home with an indoor studio

Breathe deep in a home studio made for stretching and strength building. Air treatments help control the atmosphere while dimmable lights, music and mindful decor establish a soothing space.

ProTip: There are many wonderful videos featuring exceptional yoga and pilates instructors. Set up shop by installing a flat-screen TV. Just don't forget flexible, breathable activewear.
