Running.

And by the way, 8% body fat is pretty respectable.

Working out your calves, increasing explosiveness, enhancing dexterity, and somewhat increasing endurance. The first three are the primaries, the last is really just a small side effect.

I'm sure jump roping offers some aerobic benefits. Just do it for a while and you'll probably get your heart rate up. Just not as good as ole' fashioned running.
