The bible says in 1 Timothy 4:8, "For bodily exercise profits little, but godliness is profitable unto all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."
I believe God meant for us to take care of both body and soul. In that verse, God is letting us kmow that we must not solely focus on the physical, but also be careful to take care of the spiritual. We need to train toward godliness. We must make an effort to develop our spiritual physique, perfecting it, strengthening it as well and even more so than our physical bodies. Without spiritual fitness, how will one stand against the enemy, Satan?
And even God wants us to take care of our physical bodies because they are the temple of the Holy Spirit for those who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
So whatever your form of physical fitness; keep it going, but consider exercise for the soul! Confess your sins, and make Jesus Christ your personal Savior, reconnect to God thru prayer, reading and meditating on the Scriptures, or deciding to attend a church service next Sunday. Exercise is good for both body and soul!
Blessings!
