The home owner who has never had a vegetable garden will be agreeably surprised by how many dividends can be had from even a small one. In addition to fresh, succulent vegetables, the gardener will have INVIGORATING outdoor EXERCISE, a profitable hobby and the good glow that comes with honest agricultural dirt on the hands and shoes.

invigorating exercise
noun phrase

- exercise making one feel strong, healthy and full of energy

(Oxford Dictionary)

---
The adjective invigorating stems from the verb "invigorate" (to strengthen or refresh), which was formed from the prefix "in," the noun "vigor" (physical or mental strength, energy, or force) and the suffix "ate."

The noun vigor (British English vigour) is from the Anglo-French vigour and Old French vigor (modern French vigueur) and ultimately from the Latin vigorem (nominative vigor), meaning liveliness, activity, force.

In the expression "invigorating exercise," the term exercise refers to an activity requiring physical effort, carried out to sustain or improve health and fitness, which is also often referred to as a work out (from the Old French exercice and Latin exercitium).

Apart from the sense of a work out, the term exercise has a few other meanings:

- an activity carried out for a specific purpose (The press conference was an exercise in public relations)

- a task set to practise or test a skill (Students should do the exercises at the end of each chapter to check their progress)

- a military drill or training manoeuvre (The NATO exercises will take place in the Baltic Sea)

- the use or application of a faculty, right, or process (His exercise of authority was viewed by some people as bordering on illegal)
