Srila Prabhupada explained that the activities of devotional service are

sufficient for body, mind, and soul. Since when is (san)kirtan not sufficient

exercise? In fact, many devotees need to retire from sankiratn for the very

fact that it is too strenuous on the body--too much exercise for the aging

body.

 

Also, one could research the CONVERSATIONS and find that Srila Prabhupada once

elaborated on the point that exercise is needed only by persons who eat too

much. (Check it out!)
