While aerobic exercise was at its height back in the 80s and early 90s, it is really not the best exercise if you wish to lose weight. If you think about it, it is best to do things as close to natural as possible. Running, jump roping, or doing activities like that for 30 minutes or more is NOT what our old ancestors did. They generally had a hunter-gatherer life style. That means short term super fast followed by a period of rest (they could not get away from the 'lion' chasing them if they did not run fast but they also could not have run fast for too long or they'd pass out!!). With that said, the best exercise is Interval Training of super fast aerobic exercise for 90 seconds, followed by a 30 second rest done 8-9 times in a row: it is quick, fun, burns fat quickly and activates the super fast muscle fibers that deal with the Growth Hormone which leads to fat loss.
Have a blast doing this exercise, do know that no potion or lotion is going to get the fat off of you and make you not only look but feel healthy. It is a process and not an event no matter what 'they' try to sell you on TV or magazine!!
