Presumably "exercise" became the totem word because eg Gove and Johnson jog or cycle or something. Someone else might have suggested "recreation" but there we are.
Johnson has a dog and I think the Act is silent on canine excremental issues which is one (there are others) reason why I doubt if there will be any tightening on the "exercise" arrangements.
Great point on recreation. I think people are missing how important it is for mental well-being as well.
