Could a cup of coffee replace a cardio workout?

So if you think about it the whole point of a "cardio" workout is to get your heart rate up, right? By increasing your heart rate, you strengthen your heart muscle and cardiovascular health. Therefore, any stimulant drug that increases your heart rate, such as caffeine, could be considered a cardio workout, right?

I understand that there are a million and a half health risks to this-- and I'm not saying it should replace regular exercise or anything-- but would it work?

reddddwould a heart attack replace a cardio workout?

Both of those examples are actually a lack of blood to an organ through a blockage of sorts, rather than an influx through a stimulant such as caffeine. Having too high a heart rate is still super deadly, but they're not the same thing.

While there are an infinite number of benefits to be obtained from working out, one of the most important long term benefits found from high endurance cardiovascular exercise is actually the lowering of the resting heart rate. This decreases blood pressure and inflammation, and is attributed as to why cardio is so important to health and longevity.

coffee increases heart rate but does not have the benefits of a cardio workout.

10 week study: sample group 2 (no exercise, 600 mg test) gained more muscle mass than group 3 (exercise, no steroids)

so anabolics kinda do replace exercise if you want them to

It would make sense that group one is the control group, so no exercise and no steroids.
