BJJ is great exercise! Think of it as extreme yoga with a little chess sprinkled in ;) I've seen quite a few people who were out of shape come in and start training BJJ and drop weight and get in great shape. Eventually, if you keep training BJJ you will want to supplement some cardio and weight lifting though. With all that said, for me personally, the biggest benefit from BJJ was mental and emotional.
