This is written in the usual glossy weekly know-it-all style. I read the whole article (while in the gym on the stationery bike).
Here's the gist of the article:
"The basic problem is that while it's true that exercise burns calories and that you must burn calories to lose weight, exercise has another effect: it can stimulate hunger. That causes us to eat more, which in turn can negate the weight-loss benefits we just accrued. Exercise, in other words, isn't necessarily helping us lose weight. It may even be making it harder."
So don't eat more! The basics still apply - if you use more calories than you take in, you'll lose weight.
