Here are a few accessories to help you get into shape without sacrificing style (or floor space).
1. Giam’s yoga mats are well known for being cushy, an added bonus on wood floors. The soothing shades of blue in this mat and the subtle pattern evoke the ocean. $22
2. Hydration is important and the stylish Kor One Vessel will have you reaching for your water whether you are working out indoors or out. $30
3. If you don’t love the look of your yoga mat rolled up in a corner you can cover it up (and tote it around) in the beautifully patterned Prana Sari Yoga Bag. $35
4. The Bamboo Yoga Block is subtle enough to blend in and is a great aid for advanced poses. $15
5. Instead of collecting DVD’s which can create visual clutter, you can subscribe to classes online via yogavibes.com (where you can purchase by the class or subscribe for unlimited access - $10-$25) or choose from the selection on the Netflix streaming plan ($8).

whether not weather :)
What a great idea for a post. Have been struggling with this exact issue and have never seen anyone cover it.
I have that exact yoga mat and it's anything but cushy. It's also slippery, but I sweat a lot, so that probably has something to do with it. I ended up getting a yoga towel to use over it.
LOLLL @urbancricket!
Can't you just go for a run outside if your place is too small to work out inside?
Some people have problems with running (asthma, bad knees), have inclement weather, or just plain don't like it much (like me). In a studio apartment, these suggestions are very helpful indeed. Especially the online subscription-i had no idea!
I like to slip my yoga mat into a tall cylindrical vase, or an umbrella stand. Works great!
Also have a flower pot full of yoga props on my bedroom dresser. One of those large modern white ones from Ikea.
I wholly recommend one of these if you can afford it. It's cheaper to buy direct from Ellie Herman than anywhere else (Balanced Body, for example) since she has lowered the price to make room for shipping cost. She invented this piece of equipment.
They are also excellent with communication, fast shipping and followup emails.
Mount this onto your wall and there is nothing you cannot do to tone, strengthen and awesomize the core. There are even cardio workouts you can do with this wall unit. I absolutely LOVE mine and cannot say enough good things about this springboard!

What do you do with a cat that goes crazy when you try to work out at home? (He's never seen it before, freaked him out. Haha)
* Resistance bands instead of weights.
* An exercise of ball that you can stash in the closet

I just walk an hour a day.
Yogatoday.com has one free class per week online, varying skill levels. If you want to subscribe they have an archive but I'm not THAT good yet. ^_^
We have a recumbent bike in one corner of the living room. Not gorgeous, but a much healthier TV viewing choice that the couch.
Yoga mats are also good cushioning for pushups and sit-ups.
Turn on music and dance. And I don't mean dance like you're in a club, I mean dance like it's the 80's and you are wearing leg warmers!
(Living in Texas, the heat hasn't been much lower than mid-90's in over two months; it was frequently over 100. I gave up on my walks.)
I have a couple videos, a mat and some free weights for when it's miserable outside and I don't want to even go to the gym. But I rarely use them in the summer - much nicer to be outside. In my next home, I want to install a pole for spins and strength holds. Doesn't take up much floor space at all, but it will be a challenge to design around!
