If you are not the person that wants to go to the gym for an hour, then I suggest you find other means to work out. To your luck, there are plenty of exercises that you can perform without any equipment.
Here are a 5 workouts that you can do in the comfort of your home, or outside if the weather allows. You can do as part of a fast paced interval workout or one by one. These exercises should get your heart rate up and burn some calories while you are at it.
1. The allrounder: Burpees
This exercise will work most of your muscles as well as get you out of breath. This will boost your maximal oxygen uptake as well as burn some calories in a short time.
How to do it:
Get into a squat position, with your hands on the floor in front of you. Kick feet back and land your chest on the floor. Move your chest up again and make your feet jump back to your hands. Then jump at the same time up in the air with hands straight up.

2. The add-on: Get your Knees High Up
This has the same benefit as sprinting, on the spot. It is thus a perfect cardio activity in the comfort of your home. A great part of any workout routine.
How to do it:
Make your right knee go as high up toward your chest. Then moving it down to shift over to the left knee repeating the same movement. Keep the body as straight posture and move arms along so to get your legs as high as possible. Like when you are sprinting. How fast can you go?

3. The hard one: Jump Lunges
This one is hard for any fit person to do. It requires a lot of strength in your legs as well as coordination, balance and a maximal intake of oxygen. This is one of the best body weight activities to get stronger legs as well as good lungs.
How to do it:
Get in a lunge position. One leg bent forward in 90 degree angle with the other behind you. Jump up with full power with the front leg and have legs switch position in the air. Land with opposite leg in front. Focus first on doing this right before you add speed to try to do this as fast as possible.

4. The fantastic one: Tuck Jumps
A great jump exercise that needs near to no space to perform, but will make you go out of breath in a minute.
How to do it:
Jump up and at the same time make your knees go tight toward your chest. Body should be in a tight posture. Keep the knees as tight as possible so the movement becomes as smooth as possible. See if you can do them without any pause between jumps. Might be hard at first, but you will get better as you exercise.

5. The Challenging One: Squat Jumps
This will get your heart pumping like there is no tomorrow. The Squat Jumps will strengthen your lower body. A challenging exercise, even for athletes in good form.
How to do it:
Start by standing straight up, then bend down or squat until knees are at a 90 degree angle (or lower). Pull shoulders back with chest and core in a tight position. Once you are at the bottom of the squat jump up with full power. Make your legs go straight so you jump off the ground. When you land on your feet get back into your squat position. Repeat.

You can do these exercises all together as a interval workout. Or you can pick one to do after your run, rotate and do a different one next time you go for a run. This way you will get some extra benefits after your run or walk. Try to see if you can improve your speed and the number of repeats that you do every time. Try doing each for say, 20 to 30 seconds, and your goal is to improve the number of repeats you do within that time frame.
