Jumping and running are nothing in and of itself, unless there is someone or thing performing the action. I always thought that was the meaning of that scripture. It's not what is being done, its the heart of the one doing it.
The same is said in scripture of the opposite, we can do good, but if not doing so for the love of Christ then there is nothing good in it.

Where there is no action there is no adultery. But any time there is adultery... there is sin. Without fail.
