Exercising is better than doing nothing at all. But why leave so much potential on the table? Why not be be strong and exercise? How about strength be your base not exercise? If you make strength be your base, you will be better at exercising, but it doesn't work the other way around. Getting stronger makes you better at exercising but doing more exercising doesn't make you any stronger. Getting stronger increases bone density, bigger muscles, stronger ligaments and tendons. Exercising does none of the above.
