I Exercise Regularly

I prefer high-intensity, rigorous exercise for short bursts to marathon-like, low-intensity-spread-out-over-a-longer-timespan type exercise.

The first type is less time-consuming, and I think it's better in a number of ways.

On days that otherwise would be my cardio days, I do maybe 7 sets of +-20 seconds rigorous exercise with around 2-3 minutes breaks in-between (and I'm done with it after around 15 minutes as opposed to 60 minutes of cardio)--the idea is to push yourself hard or hard as you can (honestly, I don't know if I've ever pushed myself as hard as I can).

And I mix up the workouts: sprinting; mountain climber; high knees; cycling at the gym; elliptical at the gym (without working the arms); rope.

Here and there during the day and/or night, I'll also do some high knees during a break.

That being said... it may not be the best option for everyone. For instance, if you have a health issue that might be aggravated by pushing your heart too hard, maybe another type of exercise would be better for you and still give you health benefits.
