Three miles on the treadmill that we just moved into our recently cleaned and "turned into a game room" garage. Even when it's in the teens outside, our insulated garage is around a comfortable 50 degrees.

We rented a small home with a pool in California for our vacation this past summer and it had a pool table and air hockey table in a game room in the garage. My kids decided we ought to do that since we didn't use our garage for cars; it was just full of stuff. It looked like a good opportunity to get some help cleaning out the garage so I agreed. It took weeks, but we moved everything out, got rid of a lot of it, painted the walls and ceiling, and stained and sealed the floor. We finally moved our pool table (and ping pong table top) out of the dining room, and brought our foosball table out of storage in the basement. Later we decided to move the treadmill out of our bedroom. It was a great family project and everyone pitched in. It's pretty nice out there now.
