  -> Thanks Tina
agree  philgoddard: "Exercise activity" is a tautology unless there are also other kinds of activity. I'm guessing this is either a fitness or an education app.
3 hrs
  -> Thanks Phil. Probably, but activities come in all sorts of forms: trips to the theatre or the seaside, picnics, campaigning on steet corners ...
agree  Shekhar Banerjee
5 hrs
  -> Thanks Shekhar
agree  Yvonne Gallagher: Yep, adjective and noun...Don't agree (with Phil) it's a tautology. "Exercise" can also mean different things. In this case, it does not seem to be physical.
