Well there's a new workout style that seems to be getting very popular. It's called "Tabata". It's basically a series of high intensity interval trainings. The formula is kind of like this......
1) Do a high intensity exercise for 20 seconds
2) Rest for 10 seconds
3) Repeat eight times
4) Repeat steps 1-3 with a different exercise
5) Repeat
 
There are TONS of videos online to help you. I highly recommend trying these routines or at least researching them. A lot of studies have shown very good results, in less time.
