Answer 1

Jump roping is a very efficient cardio workout and is great for toning muscles and burning fat!  Especially if you want to tone your abs since you utilize your core when jumping to maintain balance, so your core gets a workout.

My coach had me jump rope all of last summer to increase footspeed, among others; just like you I wasn't big to begin with but I ended up losing 12 lbs in just 3 months and got more toned core.

You may want to try it HIIT style which maximizes your workout and lessens your workout time.
