Factor V Leiden: What exercise helps with blood clots? What to avoid?

Hi!
I was diagnosed when I was 25 I am now 47. I presented my clots at the time I was diagnosed with Lymphoma. I never had a clot before that. I am also taking Xeralto. If you go to Janssen's website you can get your medication paid for. If you have private insurance you will only need to pay $10.
I avoid large amounts of food containing Vit K. it will counteract your Xeralto as well as the grapefruit and cranberry.
I exercise a lot. Keeping my legs strong has kept any blood clots from forming. However I get the little blood spots around my ankles "Petechiae". I bruise very easily so being aware of your surrounds is important.

I had a heart attack at my work office when I was 35, I am now 54 and diagnosed way back then. It was a moderately new thing they told me, was on Plavix forever, not anymore just aspirin. The thing is now I get these blood bruises all over even when I just touch my skin does anyone else get this? Should I be worried?

Can you list some of the leg exercises you do specifically for keeping your legs strong? I have MTS (May Thurner Syndrome) and had a full left leg clot in March. Now on blood thinners for life.
