Depends on HOW you exercise.

Many, if not all endurance athletes are technically underweight, so it's not like it's gonna kill you instantly.

And exercise can help to put some healthy weight on.

But you'd want to watch your duration, don't go more than maybe 30-45 minutes, and to make sure you're eating properly before and after exercise.

What word modifies bad in the sentence If you do not exercise physically you may feel bad?

If physically modifies bad, it should be moved to the end of the sentence in order for the sentence to flow smoothly. However, it isn't at the end of the sentence. That tells us that bad is not modified in this sentence. Rather, "physically" is telling us about exercise; the exercise is physical exercise not mental. Compare with this sentence where bad is modified: If you do not exercise you may feel bad physically.
