I don't think he's saying not to exercise but to listen to your body. If you feel worse after you exercise perhaps you are doing to much.To much exercise causes a release of cortisol which can further deplete exhausted adrenals.
I think some of us have been told to just exercise ourselves out of depression. My p-doc says that studies show at best about a 30 % improvement in most with exercise.
For some perhaps just meditation and yoga would be benefical. Again I can only state in my case when I start to pull out of a depression I have desire to exercise. Last year I joined a gym and did treadmill and weights and it did nothing for my depression. Just felt like work for me. During other years when I was in a good mood the gym seemed to always make me feel better.
