I think this should probably read "if exercise leaves you feeling cruddy or doesn't seem to do you any good after 4-6 weeks of doing it." Exercise feels cruddy to everyone at the beginning when they're completely out of shape.
Also, I'd be shocked if low-intensity exercise (i.e. an hour-long walk) was harmful to anyone.
I said "leaves you feeling cruddy" for a reason. It's one thing to feel out of breath or whatever during exercise, and another to feel bad (not just sore muscles) hours later.
