    Sure does, especially if you can get your heart rate up and keep it there for a while.

    Eat nourishing food with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables being part of it. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will activate signal to the brain as soon as u have had enough. Besides this change in eating style, take regular light exercises and brisk walks every day. U will be able to gain/shed all extra weight gracefully and in a reasonable time span. No food or drink in between the food and not more than three meals a day, unless u r diabetic.

    Absolutely. Jumping rope is a great supplementary exercise. Thing is, it's pretty intense and hard to maintain for a long time so I suggest doing other things with it as well. But it's an excellent exercise, yes.

    yes, jumping rope burns 100 calories for every 10 minutes. crunches will help you develop your abdominal muscles so they are firm, but you must incorporate cardio with them or the fat just covers them up. if your abdomen is your trouble area, any exercises that works your legs is good because the muscles in your legs will use the fat from your abdomen when they use up all their glycogen.

    I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

    Good luck.

    Yes very much. It's one of those exercises that's not only fun but also stressful to your extra calories.

    yes, it does. Doing sit-ups and jogging or aerobic exercise such as walking does better.
