Jumping rope is better.
Stop worrying about your stomach so much.

Running in place lacks the dynamics of running on a treadmill or running over the ground. During running, for a brief period of time both feet are off the ground compared with jogging or running in place. Jumping rope will build your endurance, cardio and help raise your metabolism so you'll burn calories and fat faster. Both would be fine but you'll get a better workout if you jump rope. By the way, you'll loose weight all over. It's better to keep track of your total weight loss than measuring your waistline. If you work out for a few weeks and your waist line is the same don't get discouraged. Keep a track of your weekly weight and set a goal. You may need to add more to your workout to target specific areas. You may want to check your Body Mass Index (BMI) to help with that goal. Although, personally I find the BMI to be flawed.
