You can buy them one of those wheels that you put in the cage or a ball you put the guinea pig in and it runs around in the house.

Ok first of all please do NOT buy a ball. Guinea pigs do not have the spine that a hamster has a ball could injure your guinea pig. Guineas need an hour of exercise daily set up a room for your pigs to run around in or teach them to go up and down the step.
