That's not true. Weight lifting exists in a separate exercise category to cardio and fulfils different roles, triggers different endocrine pathways. Either way, exercise is better than not, but lifting weights is also better than running in many regards. Been a while since I read about this so I'm struggling to remember specifics - hopefully somebody will come along and expand upon this.
