How to be active at home? 10 points if you give reasonable answer!?

So, I want to be active and stop being lazy all the time. In my house I have maids so I do not have to do any chores( though I do some chores occasionally). I'm overweight but I'm working on it so I don't need any advise on that topic. I just wanna know that what can I do at home so that I can keep myself busy all the time other than watching TV or computer. Please no outdoor ideas because I already have ideas about outdoor. I just need indoor ideas to stay busy all day long. Thanks in advance.

    I agree with the treadmill answer.

    You can also carry light weights (2 lbs) while walking as you watch TV.

    Also, step out every hour or so for a breath of fresh air and throw rocks at your neighbor's house.

    however..if u worried being lazy at home, then how bout just go outside and do something?

    maybe exercise (or exercise at home with specific stuff).. keep trying to have friends and meet..

    or other active hobby on outside..

    for just my case..even i'm staying inside of house everyday..

    i'm so busy to having lot activities (such as.. cooking, exercising, producing something just as hobby..

    cleaning the room. reading a book, studying etc)

    the best thing to stay fit around the house is if yu love music then, walk around the house listening to music i do this even wen im watching tv, another thing to do if yu have a dog yu can play with it, run with it and throw its toys and try to catch it before it gets to it. i hope this helps
