Hello，teachers！ Which sentence is correct？Thankyou!

1 She never exercises.
2 She never does any exercises.
3 She never does any exercise.

An exercise is one type of activity. Push-ups are one type of exercise. Sit-ups are another type.

Exercise as a non-count noun refers to any type of thing you do that moves your body around.

I don't like to exercise is a general statement.
I don't like to do this type of exercise is a specific statement.

#1 is probably what you want to say about someone who doesn't move around much. #3 has about the same meaning, but I don't like it as well.

#3 sounds fine to me- I don't know if this is a BrE thing. ;-)
