    Missing out on the benefits I get from working out using exercise equipment in my garage.

    Explanation:

    When an option is chosen from alternatives, the opportunity cost is the "cost" incurred by not enjoying the benefit associated with the best alternative choice. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines it as "the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen." Since Choice B is the next best choice to hiking, missing out on the benefits of working out will be my opportunity cost.
