Get a 100lb heavy bag and some decent wraps and gloves. Work that thing at least 3x/week, 3-4 sets of at least 90 seconds. More when you can handle it.
Great to release aggression and will get your BPM way up there.

15 stairmaster hiit. It sucks but it's done in 15min and 300 calories burnt. Start slow and easy with the intervals and in a few weeks it will be easier. I normally go on the highest setting for 30 seconds to a minute then lower it by 5 or 10 depending how far into it I am and how I feel.
No, not a bad move.
If you're not interested in typical cardio and want to branch out, maybe try some barbell complexes. It'll get your heart rate going. It's not really cardio but maybe it'll be easier to stick with and, if so, it'll be more optimal for you because it'll be sustainable whereas regular cardio sounds like it won't be.
Try Tabata. This can be done on a tread mill, elliptical or stationary bike. I do the battle ropes after training for 4 minutes, 6x week. Gets the heart rate up. Cardio done, quick and easy.
I use the Tabata Stopwatch Timer app.

Swimming is fun and burns a massive amount of calories.
And you don't have to worry about sweating.

Gotta get outside for the cardio man.
I litteraly can't stand the machines at the gym, you basically just doing the same shit in the same place for an hour every day fuck that.
I'd rather get outside and run/jog, I pick a new destination from my house everytime.

I've pretty much tried it all and have came to realize that cardio isn't supposed to be fun. Just turn on pandora, set the treadmill incline to max, and think about how great it is to be shredded 
For me, the most cost/time effective is HIIT on a stationary bike. Warm up for 5, then 30 sec.x4 blasts as fast as you can with good form. Rest 30-60 sec between blasts. Warm down. 3x weekly. Steady cardio is useless, unless hiking or walking in the woods to find a spot to do your girl.
My suggestion also. The choices are limitless also. As soon as my shoulder is close to 100% ill be getting back to these.

For cardio I usually do twn minutes of HIIT for example i might do 4 rounds of 25 kettlebell swings, 5 long jumps onto a box, and 25 jumping jacks then a 30 second plank hold. Or kettlebell swings, tire flips, and a lap aroundthe parking lot and s plank hold. Goes by pretty quick, beats the hell out of treadmill/eliptical/stairstepper etc

You read my mind! I alternate between 140 spm and 40 spm, 1 minute intervals of each. I shed bodyfat with this compared to any steady-state cardio I've ever tried.
Tire flips are great and you can easily get one for free and keep it at the house. I have 2 one heavy for strongman style shit and one that's in the 300lb area for cardio, 5 sets of 15 flips with a set of 15 sledgehammer swings on each side is what I typically do only takes about 30min or so.

High intensity sex on MWFSun and then maybe some barbell complexes, hill sprints, prowler pushes or drags on TThSat
Jump rope, sled work, farmers walks, battle ropes, heavy bag. I hate the cardio equipment too, those are my go to

Try doing 2 days a week of barbell complexes. I started this about 2 months ago and it's been getting me shredded. I set 20 mins on the clock and do, 6 reps shoulder press, 7 reps front squat, 8 reps bent over row, 9 reps stiff legged deadlift, 10 reps back squat. The goal is to get 10 rounds. I started out with 65 lbs and it took me a few attempts to get to 10 rounds, then once I hit 10 consistently I move up by 10 lbs. THIS IS AN INSANE CARDIO WORKOUT. I love it because I get it done in 20 minutes, I'm drenched in sweat, I get to lift and it completely replaces the need for conventional cardio.
Bunch of good suggestions. Pick something and focus on performance. For example greyskull preaches 100 burpees in 5 min as the goal. He tells you how to get there in the villain challenge #1 article. Another example is jump rope, goal should be to be able to move like a boxer. Well you get there by practicing jump rope and adding time and the difficulty to it weekly until you reach that goal. Goals for heavy bag etc or wendler prowler challenge. If you are working toward a goal at least you have something to strive for instead of just doing it for the sake of burning calories.
Below are links to the greyskull conditioning books. Great books, just follow his advice on time limits. The best is the very first one, 13 down....it's a mother fucker.
