I believe exercise is a great way to help one get out of a mild depression. Just one of the tools to help relieve stress. I've had dysthymia for about 10 years though and have exercised all through it, so it's not a panacea.
I agree with what someone said earlier about it not helping much with more severe depressions. One usually does not have the energy to get out of bed let alone take a jog around the block.
