Which is more proper and why?

'Doing exercise........' is correct, because the underlined words show action.

'To do' does not show action, at least not in the way "Doing" does.

examples of the use of 'to do'

I (want)(plan) to do exercise every day.
My goal is to do exercise every day.
To do exercise every day is my goal.

of course, I will choose the first options. I always tell myself ,I need do something in everyday, and I must keep doing. But in the end , I fails again and again! The action was more important than the words and your plan. even your plan was so nice , but you don't perform it , it was empty!

Hi,

To me, 'doing exercise' is an awkward phrase. I'd just sat 'Exercising every day . . . '.
