Does yoga work as a good replacement for a cardio work out?

I don’t really have the time and patients to run anymore because my stamina requires me to spend an hour on the track just to sweat a little so i don’t get a full workout with the physical damage that comes with it. I noticed that yoga really gets my heart to race and me to sweat and i was wondering if this is a good replacement for running completely, if not do you know any intense, fast cardio workouts?

well if you enjoy yoga and feel that its working for you then i’d continue to do that

but don’t give up running altogether
challenge yourself by doing different running workouts each day
one day practice sprinting and one day just jog
stuff like that

Hi Brian,

I got a copy of Brian Kest Power Yoga on dvd a few years ago and it was amazing http://www.essential-yoga-for-men.com/bryan-kest-power-yoga.html

You can pick it up from amazon. There are three routines on it and you’ll certainly be sweating by the end of your session. It’s also got a pretty cool soundtrack and the whole thing is well intructed with clear direction, verbally and visually.

Hope you enjoy it!
