Yeah, that's what I meant when I said "any actions with consequences." Of course there are ways to exercise which can be immoral (exercising by beating random people up, say) but that's fairly separate from the question of exercise by itself being moral/immoral.
I think the question of whether the opportunity cost, where exercising is something you're doing instead of something actively good, is somewhat more interesting, but this is where taking care of yourself comes in. On a pragmatic level, people who don't do anything other than working towards the Cause, whatever that cause may be, burn out and become less effective. In any case, I don't exactly think that's the question of exercise specifically being moral. You could fill that time you aren't working towards the Cause with a lot of things. So again, it's not really about exercise.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
