Exercise to me just means "use." It doesn't mean to me "have a workout." So if my spirit is subject to me, then I can to some extent use it for what it was meant for. Like "exercise your right to vote."
I know Lee used "exercise yourself to godliness" to justify "exercise the spirit." But it never made sense to me in the sense of "give your spirit a workout." But "use your spirit" does make sense to me.
