Running is hard work (i.e. a lot of mileage has to be done for the burning of calories to be effective; plus it has to be done regularly and combined with a sensible and appropriate diet. It can also be damaging to your joints if running on the 'wrong' surfaces in the wrong shoes.
To tone up and lose weight, skipping is an excellent exercise; 2 x 5 minutes a day will have you toned in no time.
