How efficient is jogging in place?

I live in New York and right now it is far too cold for me to jog outside. (I have very bad asthma that's triggered by cold weather). How effective is jogging in place as I do not own a treadmill? Thanks!

    take it up a notch. job in place, then to jumping jacks, then do side steps, job by lifting your feet higher. if you do all that, it will be pretty effective!

    Any kind of exercise is good for you. Jogging in place is very good exercise and it still burns calories. I do it all the time when I watch TV and it still keeps me physically fit.

    Its alright but for better pay off,,,run slow for 1 min then faster for 2 mins then back sown for 1 min and keep doing this, you burn more calories faster, by keeping your heart rate going up and down!

    it's better than sitting on the couch. try getting a jump rope, you can burn probably 3x more cals than running in place!
