When I exercise I usually put my hair up in a high bun so that it doesn't get in the way. After I exercise I usually co-wash my hair (because my hair gets really sweat and when it dries my scalp feels really itchy and I don't like that ) . I've heard that you aren't supposed to exercise if you're about to get a relaxer, but I do and I haven't had any problems. I just wouldn't exercise the day of my relaxer, and if I did I would do it after the relaxer. If your planning on exercising outside in the hot sun I would either wear a loose fitting baseball hat to shield your hair from the sun's harmful rays or mix a little bit of sunscreen in with your hair moisturizier/leave-in spray. If swimming coat your hair with a layer of conditioner. I've heard that it helps combat the damage the chlorine may do to your hair.
P.S. Taking care of relaxed hair is pretty simple. Just make sure you deep condition it at least once a week, use a leave-in conditioner and coat with a natural oil, be gentle in how your combing/grooming it, and don't relax too frequently. Not all relaxed hair reacts the same way to the same products so you may have to go through a little bit of trial and error to find the right products that work for your hair type. Hope I helped.
