To be honest, these 'General Rules' are not based on reality. Every person is unique in their body and how it responds to different training, hence why their are so many conflicting idea's on the best workouts or training regime's.

Trying different workouts for yourself would be the key and find out what works best for YOU, to get the results you want to achieve. Along with workouts or training, diet and sleep is something of utmost importance to any athlete. Your diet will be something you will have to experiment with to yield the greatest results, again depending on what you want to achieve.

Is exercise bad?

If you have time for some exercise on a daily basis, go for it! It's good for you. Now, if you are doing strength training/lifting weights, you should not work the same muscles on consecutive days. This is because when doing working your muscles intensely (or "anaerobically"), your muscle fibers actually break down somewhat. These fibers then regenerate and become even stronger, but the rest period between workouts is what allows this to happen. P.S. - Don't exercise when you're injured, either.
