A lot of the forums I see recommending rucking as the best cardio exercise. Less likely to be injured by a turned ankle or knee than when you are running. Also it offers a great way to gradually increase difficulty.

My favorite is stair climbing, but it's very difficult to find publically accessible space (e.g. 20+ story building) to do this.
I have a Planet Fitness membership which is stupid cheap and they have stair machines. I guess a lot of people like them a lot. Also the treadmills are great if you increase the incline. Lets you get a workout without having to break into a run.
Love max incline treadmills to warm the body up and exercise the calves. Stair machines are OK, but not nearly as satisfying to me as lifting my whole body through space with legs and arms on real flights of stairs.
I love walking up stairs and detest stair machines (and treadmills to an extent). You have to tell your brain to not look ahead to where you are stepping and use your peripheral vision and memory, but instead trust that there will always be a step in front of you, or stare at your feet. It's a bit unnatural.
