(From personal experience) I actually suggest an interval training regiment – running, jump roping and squats / crunches/ push-ups are the best. You want to aim for the maximum target heart rate during the high intensity period (for like 1-3 minutes. Then have a down time of 1 minute and repeat the cycle again. You will see definite results right away. I also highly recommend you get the timer called Gymboss, which helps you pace and specializes in this kind of training. http://www.amazon.com/Gymboss-GB2008-GB2010-SILVER/dp/B00194PWNQ
Make sure you drink plenty of water. Eat lean proteain and fiber after every workout. Stretching will keep you lean and protect you from injury.
Good luck.
