1 sounds more natural than 2, but I'd say "We do exercises in the morning".

No. This is a good question. The order is something like this:

1. Grammatical. This is the lowest hurdle to jump. There are thousands of sentences that are grammatical but not natural.
2. Meaningful. (It can be understood.)
3. Idiomatic ~ Natural (Something that native speakers would typically say.)
4. Appropriate (for the situation in which it's said)

Most often when someone tells you a sentence is correct, they mean it's grammatical and meaningful, but standards vary from person to person regarding the use of the word "correct".
