Hi Fully,
I am an editor. The answer is "a. Properly constructed sentence." Your
sentence is fine as is (except that there's a space missing before
"exercise"). You may have a word processing application or a person
telling you that the sentence is flawed, but "a little Strunk & White
is a dangerous thing." Your sentence does not need to be changed.

I disagree...

There shouldn't be a comma after "regularly" as it is followed by the word "and".
