I have a couple of heavy punching bags hanging in my garage. A 100 lb bag and a 250 lb bag. What I do is set a timer for 3 minutes, then just just blast away with punches, elbows and kicks (I do martial arts). Rest for one minute, then do 4 more rounds for total of 5 rounds.

I forgot one of my favorite extreme short duration cardio/fat burning exercise - Tabata. 8 rounds of 20 seconds of work, followed by 10 seconds of rest. Can be done with situps, squats, pullups, bag punches, etc. Most important thing is to go 100% full effort. Total of only 4 minutes and cardio work is done.

Walking or hiking outdoors can't be beat. I enjoy the elliptical and rower when working out indoors.

Speed cleaning...lol. I swear...nice way to get it all done fast and get some cardio in.
LOL ... I also have a method I call "airhead housework." That's where you take, for instance, the laundry basket upstairs, but deliberately (OK, not always deliberately ... ) forget another item that needs to go upstairs, etc.

Right now, I'm basically doing bench step aerobics. I like to put on some great music (80's usually) to get me moving. Sometimes I find a good movie on TV and do a combination of treadmill and eliptical. The best, though, is when the weather is good and I can take a run outside.

Ooo....I do love step too. That's fun. But cycling - my butt always gets so sore!

Jogging and running - definitely. I've done most other things but get bored with them all rather easily. It's funny too, because I absolutely do not like listening to music while jogging and running either... too distracting for me (I'd rather listen to my actual surrounds and hear my thoughts).

Has anyone tried rope undulation? Here's a video, showing someone performing numerous rope undulation exercises:
