I find that when I don't have time to go for my walk or run, I increase the intensity of the every day walking I do. I simply walk a little faster to get to where I'm going and take stairs as much as possible. It might not add much, but it's better than nothing.

I also find that you can save time from your walks by increasing intensity. You don't have to necessarily run to get a quicker cardio workout in. Simply walk up hill, up stairs, with weights, faster, etc. The more energy you use per step, the less time it will take you to get the same burn.
