If you only have 30-40 minutes, you can do a lot. You could do a 10k tempo run. Tempo means running fast but controlled, not sprinting. Sprinting is also good. You would get the fastest results if you were using a heart rate monitor. Get your heart rate around 95% of max for 30-60 seconds, then rest til the rate drops back to resting rate, then repeat as many times as you can stand it. I'm a slow, lazy runner so I use a treadmill at 15% grade. I run at 5 to 5.5 mph for a half lap then jump off till my heart rate drops, then repeat. It would be best to jog a mile or two as a warmup before doing anything that difficult.
If you don't have a gym, find a steep hill. If you live in a flat area, use stadium steps or a skyscraper stairwell.
