sex can replace running for cardio if you can keep your heart rate going long enough.
Cardio = ~1 hr at ~130-150 BPM
cardio is cardio, doesnt matter what you do,

Apples and Oranges, skipping will help, but it won't be a complete replacement. How much you need will depend what level you're at and what you are looking to get from it.

indeed.
i think even Ross says that you have to run, even if you do rope skipping and stationary biking.

One thing is that people always try and compare things to running in terms of technical aspects like heart-rate, joint maintenance, etc. But LSD running is about more than that, it puts through the paces your mental focus and endurance. I find the people who have the hardest time with LSD running are those with short attention spans, and those people also tend to have problems focusing in sparring or Fighting. Sprints, cycling, swimming laps, skipping rope, these things are all fantastic...but I find nothing tests the mind and body simultaneously quite like running distance.

I love distance running. It's good to get the endorphins running.
I was just in Vegas last week, how on earth you run in that heat is beyond me.

Not arguing with you but I want to quit swimming long before I want to quit running. Swimming kicks my ass.
