Interesting thought but what would life look like without exercise, stress, allergies, colds, flu. Everything causes inflammation. I had asthma as kid, still do to some extent. My body produces histamine at just the sight of a cat. inflammation will swell my eyes closed. The older I get stress is hard to cope with. I cant do anything anymore that is by the seat of pants. I cant live knowing it might cause inflammation. I have gone to the gym and lifted weights my whole life. Very heavy at times to develop strength and muscle. I still lift as heavy as I can. PMR slowed me down when I couldnt get out of bed but 4 hrs after the steroid . no pain. I was right back at the gym. Headed there now and have to mow the yard today. But I have no pain and off steroids.

If you are pain free then go for it! I'm simply saying exercising causes inflammation and PMR and inflammation go hand in hand, so listen to your body. Pushing too hard for your body can cause problems. Everyone is different.
