It's a heck of a lot better than sitting on your butt all day. Keep doing it!
If you really want to get in good shape you'll need to add to it. You'll want to add more whole body exercises, and increase your cardio workout. Jumping jacks are pretty decent cardio, but you need to do a lot more. You just need to spend more time doing things that get your blood circulating and get you breathing harder. Doing jumping jacks for a minute just isn't long enough. You'd be better off doing something lower intensity that lasts longer. Like walk/jog/swim at a pace that gets you breathing harder than normal, but slow enough that you can sustain it for at least 15-20 minute or longer. Even if you are out of shape and have to start out walking slowing, then that's what you should do.
You might consider adding some stretching also.
Be careful with your back. You are doing ab work, so make sure you work your back also. Better yet, work your whole body.
Keep doing what you are doing, but try to add more variety. You don't need to do the same workout every day. Mix it up more.
i personally believe that the more you work your body out the better faster results, by that i mean you gotta do real work outs, those you mention are lazy housewife that doesn't know what to do with her life work outs. i recommend , jumping on rope on your tip toes, running long distances at a good speed, push ups, crunches. it doesn't matter that your a girl, there is nothing better than being fit.
Just go running long distance and swim laps. It's much better work out to be moving through space. The stuff you're doing if just kind of warm up stuff I don't think it's dealing seriously enough with all your muscle groups to have much effect.
For getting toned thighs & bum, (properly) do squats in heels. It'll make you squat lower to the ground. Twist crunches and plank is good for your abs, but try training your core as well.

Squats will help your bum only if you do a full squat. I see tons of girls and guys at the gym not doing deep squats. So just make sure you're going deep like butt close to the ground as much as possible. It makes a world of difference. A minute of plank is excellent for abs. The thing with abs is you'll need to burn fat to see them. Thinghs go along with squats and the added lunges will help. Overall you may want to add some form of weighted resistance for during these workouts.
Do that in the morning and in the evening, also make sure your eating healthy or your not really gonna see the results you want.
yeah those are all good but the most important thing and the hardest is eating right.
candy, soda, chips, fast food (pretty much all chain restaurants) anything high in sugar should be avoided.
These are good, but it's also good to do additional reps so it's more effective. These are all great exercises though!
Why do you want to get toned thighs, stomach and bum?
I think it would be better to work your whole body three times a week.
