Reply to comment by Zetkin8 in Physical activity before COVID-19 infection is associated with less severe outcomes. In a study of 194,191 adults with COVID-19, those who were consistently inactive were 191% more likely to be hospitalized and 391% more likely to die than those who were consistently active. by glawgii

If it was adjusted for BMI, the effect of exercise should and could be so much stronger, since if you would start to exercise your BMI would also improve, which is also known risk factor. So I think given a binary choice to start proper exercise routine or not, the actual improvement of risk odds is much greater than presented by this study, because of how they controlled for everything.
