Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'aerobic' specifies the type of 'exercise' (exercise that uses oxygen to boost endurance). A B1 learner who knows both constituent words can readily infer this meaning, and the modifier+noun pattern is cross-linguistically common, so it is transparent.
Etymology
Aerobic exercise comes from the word aerobic, meaning 'with oxygen', and exercise, meaning 'physical activity'. It means activities like running, swimming, or cycling that make your heart and lungs work and use oxygen, so the phrase describes exercise that builds fitness by using oxygen.
