Treadmill is a dirty word, only thing my treadmill is good for is dips. Get some dumbells or anything heavy and walk with it for distance like farmers walks, or you can try running.
Punch (and Kick if you like) your heavy bag for 1:00 as many solid well delivered punches as possible. Then drop and do 1:00 of Sit-ups. The third minute is for resting.
When you are actually in great shape the third minute will be used for Jumping rope.

That statement is not entirely true. Yes, treadmill is a dirty word, but … treadmills add a lot of variety to training when used not only for dips but as wheelbarrows too. First, choose the treadmill with the correct load (depending on the fattitude of the person on said treadmill). Then, pick up the back (the wheels are usually on the front) and RUN with it. Woohoo!
Be prepared to loose (for you, Shugart) your gym membership.
In addition to dragging, carrying, interval sprints, etc I would suggest jumping rope. I like something like 30/30 seconds (jumps for max #/rest). You can use a time total (say 20 minutes or have a set minimum that you must complete or quit) It’s cheap, travels well, and is effective.
You should also check out the Cardio Confusion and Superior Circuit articles (I think Cressey and Robertson respectively). From these, I particuarly like the thought of working on weakpoints while getting in your cardio. With all of the above, you have enough choices to not get board, which is always a challange for this kind of training. I’d take any of these options over the treadmill. Good Luck.

…then throw up afterwards, LOL!
Seriously, these give you a lot of bang for your buck, do a couple of sessions over the course of a month and your fitness levels should increase significantly.
